Hi everyone... So here's an update: 162 envelops were sent out in total for invitations. Central office's mailboxes (minus Dr. McDermott because she had an invitation mailed directly to her) were filled w/invitations I cannot get ahold of Phil to get him the fliers. I tried to find his house # on Franklin St. because besides e-mailing him the invitation/RSVP form, I thought I would just stick 100 in his mailbox, but no luck reaching him or using white pages to get his address....Mr. White? Faculty mailboxes in the high school will be finished being filled with invitations/RSVP forms thanks to student, Connor Nolan (and his friends?)--Mrs. McLaughlin approved this before he went ahead and did this for us. I'm still frequently calling Emily Rogers about getting the groups of students she formed out there to their designated spots (which have been given to them already) to get more items for the auction. I will be out there more collecting stuff, as well as Dick (thanks!) The press release is out, thanks to Dick, too! Millie, Kate, and Dot helped group items that will be put together on the night of the auction. I'm hoping that someone or a couple of people can help take over dealing with the collected items. Anyone????? That would involve putting them into baskets or coming up with some way of packaging these items for presentation (think CHEAP!)...we have gift certificates that need to be displayed somehow appropriately, too. Anyone have rolls of raffle tickets that we can give out that night? I think I have one red roll somewhere. Any ideas on the cost of the raffle tickets...each?...5 for XX....$10 for XX???? Any suggestions? Anyone interested in helping come up with decoration ideas (fall themed?) I will be taking that day off of work to go to the Thatched Cottage and help decorate, but I was hoping someone would be able to come up with the decoration items (cheap!)--centerpieces?? Awards for the supermarkets?! I haven't heard from any of the supermarket representatives yet. I'm hoping at least 3 show. I will be contacting them this week to remind them. Please, if you can TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS EVENT. We need to have a nice size guest list. How many checks do you have so far Mr. White? Or how many people? Thanks everyone!
