The fish fry effort is growing. Several board members and other interested in teh success of the progam are pitching in. Here's what going on at this time.
We're finalizing the details on the inventory for the event.
Great work John, on exploring the fish sales. Sharon, Robert, Leroy, Beverly, Lyn and George for making plans to help out! Thanks to Inez and her sisters for loaning us their recipes for cakes, and time in prep work for the event.
I've submitted a grant application to Sam's and hope to hear from them on what they can do to help out with the cost of some items for the event. So you may not have to come out of pocket. They gave us a $25 donation to help pay for some items already. I'm excited to learn how they may continue to help us to help our community. I've learned they have a program where their employees can volunteer to help us out! WOW! I'll let you know more later.
Inez has campaigned for cake donations and hopes to get PEPSI to donate some drinks.
Our family is responding well to the event also. They are excited about plans for us to put on a fish fry in their area i.e Inman and Beaufort!
Mean time, I've printed up tickets for us to sell before the event to purchase what we'll need.
Sharon and Robert Croissant gracioulsy agreed to print them for us. I had some card stock and ink left over from a project that Trey did last year. thank God for Spring cleaning!
Thanks Sharon and Robert offering to print the tickets. don't worry, we'll need more print work done I'm sure.
WE still need your help with the other items.
The ticket sales will generate the funds and the public exposure for the program.
Charley and I discussed at the last board meeting if each board member sold 20 tickets. We'd have enought $ to pay for everything we will before the event.
Call me when you get time. I will have some tickets with me and the others will be at the house with Trey and his assistant.
Let me know if you'd like to meet to get them or pick them up from the house.
I've sold a few of them already to my neighbor and co-workers!!! Lyn and George Whitehead got there tickets today.
Looking forward to hear from you and hope that all is well.
Please call me on my cell phone , 318-2210 so that we can continue to coordinate for the event on the February 27th at Seven Oaks Park. It's coming together very well.
