Space for the May Pampered Chef Fundraiser
Meeting is at 12:30 today to discuss recruitment meeting logistics. Another issue I wanted to address was our May Pampered Chef fundraiser.
Finding a space for our upcoming Pampered Chef party fundraiser has been something of an issue. I was originally going to contact the Valley River Inn to see if they would be willing to donate space, but was told they are inundated with requests as it is and could not contact them directly.
My sister in law had her baby shower in the EPUD building, in South Eugene off the Glenwood area. Apparently use of that building is free for anyone in that district. It’s a nice building and put on by my Aunt, who is on one of the Relay teams.
I was thinking, if no one on our team lives in that district or knows of a similar deal for EWEB or SUB customers, maybe we could partner with my Aunt’s team, or ask her to “host” the party in the Epud building.
Thoughts?

Team Meeting, March 7th, 2007
Great meeting! Thanks so much for
Gayle B. and Danielle M. for coming over!
Topics Discussed:
- Recruitment,
- Global Citizenship Guidelines,
- Pampered Chef Fundraiser
Just a quick recap-
YOUR action items are in bold:
Per Global Citizenship guidelines, we are permitted ONE All-users recruitment email, ONE reminder email a week or so prior to the start of the event (for us this would be the end of July) and ONE email per fundraising event.
We are permitted TWO on-site fundraising events, but limitless off-site events, and we are welcome to send emails direct person-to-person all we want (until the Stalking legislation kicks in ;D) We can put reminder slips in mailboxes for fundraisers, say if we wanted to do a Papa's Pizza day or somesuch.
SO!
We are going to have a Recruitment meeting at the beginning of April. I am working on drafting an email and putting together a Powerpoint presentation for visuals. WE WILL HAVE RAFFLE PRIZES! and hopefully food.
We will have a logistics meeting to hammer out more details of putting together our recruitment meeting. Please contact me off list if you are
interested in helping out, or if you have any ideas to share!
Gayle suggested we use our recruitment email to outline our fundraising plans and give as many details as we can to maximize use of our one email.
For on-site activities, we are planning the parking lot raffle, using Bethany's suggestion to tie that in with the Sun & Moon sales. This will start in April and go through May, and the winners will receive reserved parking spots through June and July.
Mid-May, we will have a Pampered Chef party. It will be a catalog/demo party. I am working on finding a location, Gayle will get the materials and date for us. Hopefully at the next meeting we'll have all the details hammered out. The party will kcik 25% of all sales back to our team's total.
We were thinking our other on-site should be a bake sale or something of this nature, which went over very well last year. Gayle suggested possibly doing an ice-cream sale during the warmer months, since the bake sale in 90-degree heat didn't go over so well last summer.
Does anyone have contacts at Ben & Jerry's, or Prince Pucklers that may be willing to donate ice cream and fixings? We also are blessed to have a Schwan's representative on our list, perhaps Schwan's would be willing to donate in exchange for the exposure and advertising, and the chance to pass out booklets?
We are open to other off-site fundraising suggestions. We can set up a Papa's Pizza drive, or Baja Fresh again at any time.
Would anyone like to spearhead a car wash or another off-site fundraiser? Lana are we still thinking of trying to do a karaoke night at the Woodsman?
That's about it- please watch your inbox for the next lunchtime meeting invite. Y'all missed out on DOUGHNUTS!
