Hi Music City for Change and Nashville Loves Barack Obama members -
I'm glad to say the silent auction committee meeting today was terrific and we have an
excellent, experienced team with major connections
Silent Auction Committee 7/27 Minutes
1. EVENT DATE
- 1st Choice Thu, Oct 16th 6:30pm-9pm
- 2nd Choice - Thu, Oct 23rd 6:30pm-9pm
2. VENUE
- 1st Choice Tin Roof Cantina
- 2nd Choice similar restaurant venue for 200-300 people.
We're seeking a restaurant that will donate food and space with a stage and plenty of free parking, and they can make money with a cash bar.
Nicole Cochran is in charge of setting up the venue so please contact her at nic...@nicoftimepr.com or 615-776-8881 with any suggestions or connections.
3. CO-CHAIR
- With help from various committee members and Music for Change members, and with the additional help of a restaurant venue - it thankfully looks like we will not need a co-chair. Also no one is available, so I - Karen Lyu - am willing to take responsibility as the sole Chair of the silent auction committee.
So far for the silent auction committee we have:
- Ed Petterson (responsible for artists connections/booking along with Deanna Walker)
- Rosanne Adderley (responsible for finding a source for
20-40 laptops to borrow. Please contact her at rosann...@yahoo.com if you have any suggestions or connections )
- Nicole Cochran (responsible for finding the venue and getting silent auction items)
- Ron White (has 16 years of silent auction experience w/ a national wildlife organization)
- Pat White (Ron's wife and experienced volunteer)
- Ginger Lynn (experienced political volunteer)
- Dana M. Hardy (she's also on the NLBO data admin team)
- possibly Ben Vos?
- Todd Sharp as an advisor and connector (chair of Williamson Cty Democrats)
FYI - We are looking for someone who is willing to take responsibility for finding a free or cheap printer for our catalog programs and/or our publicity flyers (Rosanne recommended checking Black family-owned printing companies.) Please contact Karen at ka...@globaljazz.net or 612-327-0050 if you can help.
We also have 4
volunteers from Karen's church signed up for the day of the event.
4. ONLINE AUCTION PROGRAM
- http://www.cmarket.com/ auction/BiddingForGood.action
We have decided on the CMarket.com online auction program for event planning and online auction sales that are available to the public (including 82,000 active registered bidders).
FYI - We will need to raise $600 for a 1-year membership (the program can be used for other auctions after the October auction is over). Please contact Karen at ka...@globaljazz.net or 612-327-0050 if you can help with fundraising for the membership.
5. VOLUNTEERS - We will need fewer volunteers than originally planned with a restaurant helping out:
- event registration table
- voter registration/Obama items table
- silent auction items monitoring/ushering
- computer techies (for the laptops)
- stage hands
- stage manager
- musicians (possibly Emmy Lou Harris? - Ed will check)
- MC (we will check with Deanna - thanks Susan!)
- publicity/marketing/media
We would like the funds raised to go to TV ads.
Please contact me with any suggestions, questions or potential connections.
