I enjoy participating


I’m the party planner, which makes me quite happy. I really like this type of work. I get to interact with fun people, set up my own schedule, and make fun times for everyone. It’s just peachy. This upcoming event will be the second party of the class as well as OUR indiegogo ending party with a pinch of Christmas.  I’m presenting today on the plans, which is actually me trying to get a feel for what our class wants.  I’m torn between having a Christmas themed party and a classy speakeasy type shin dig.  But a more important issue is how to raise money.  I’ve been playing with the idea of a silent auction, but Zoe made a good point of how rowdy college kids are, and they probably won’t even listen.  Another option, that kind of plays with the silent auction idea, is a raffle. But each item can have it’s own raffle. You buy however many raffle tickets, then put them in whatever item you’d hope to win. The appropriate ticket prices would be from 1-5 dollars. On that note, I’m not sure if using the tips from the bar will work this time since I doubt one of the three bars I’ve selected would allow us to use their venue as well as take their tips. I don’t really see that happening. But a cover is a good option. We could charge $5 at the door for the party.  All of this will be discussed and hashed out in class today. After the specifics are decided, I can really start setting everything up and hopefully adhere to the calendar I designed.
