Let's Make our NEXT WEEK social event a fundraising meal!

[Corina Burlacu]

Good morning EVERYONE! :)

I would like to share with you an idea, and I would love to hear your opinion on it!

I think it would be a great way to thank our members for all of their support this semester by holding an end of semester social with our club members NEXT WEEK (target date - DECEMBER 5) and make it a fundraiser event. The proceeds from the event could be donated to Red Cross or other charities for the people suffering from the typhoon Haiyan in Philippines. 

Most of you know that I've been talking about a ZGAS social for a while now and, many students approached me with the question: why ZGAS never hosts socials in the evenings? Most of our members are working but would love to attend an evening social and network. Our ZGAS alumni also suggested to me they would love to meet with club members at a social event. Overall, I think it will be a great opportunity for all of us to network in a more casual environment AND give back to community. 

Please let me know what you think ... The reason for choosing December 5th as our target date is that it would be on a Thursday (very hard to gather people on Fridays) after everybody is done with their papers and projects and midterms, but early enough before finals, as we hope to have a good turnout. 

Also, please see the forwarded email below for one the possible ways to do it. 

Best Regards,
Corina :)

Hello,

I hope everything is well with you. I wanted to remind you of social fundraising opportunities at local restaurants who are excited to host and give back to organizations like Zicklin Graduate Accounting Society.

In the months of October and November, you can host a fundraising meal at Café Espanol, The Red Lion, or Amity Hall near Baruch, and the restaurant will donate back 20% of your group's meal sales!

Here's how it works:

1) Request a date for your meal online here: http://groupraise.com/new-york-ny

2) Invite everyone to your meal using social media, email, and your GroupRaise meal page

3) Have a fun, social meal together & place your receipts in the GroupRaise box

Then the restaurant will tally up the receipts in the box and you will get a check in the mail for what your group raised (get it?)! So far, student clubs have raised from $40 to $400+ per event! Here is a short video about how to set up the event: www.groupraise.com/info

Happy GroupRaising!
