Submit Your Ads and Sponsor Info to Andrea

Wow, what has happened? My understanding was for EVERYONE to submit their ad and sponsorship information to Andrea. She is your sponsorship coordinator. Andrea and I will work together to make sure we have everyone's information, etc. Ideally, using the message board would keep us all informed, but I know better so. here is her email address: ads0568@gmail.com

yes. I have them in the book now, but just their name, so a logo is most wanted.

MARATHON/SP GAS AND FOOD/LIQUOR: I picked up a big box this morning from them with snacks and alcohol that can be made into a basket. They definitely need mention if you can please find room. Deb do you need SP Marathon/Liquors logo?
Date: 03/26/2023
From: Deb

If I can find room, which I think I can find a spot to place a small logo for SP Liquors and 4th Quarter and thank both for their donations toward the buckets of cheer. Any thoughts?

From: Gena

Marathon is donating wine and liquor and snacks for basket(s). We need to make a sign that says thanks to SP liquor and mention in program if possible please. I'm picking up Wednesday.

SHELL POINT KANGAROO/MARATHON/SP LIQUOR .... just found the packet I gave a couple weeks ago and he called me twice today.... got corporate approval to sponsor us every year. However, we have NO PAGES LEFT for their sponsorship. So, I've asked him for bottles of liquor and wine for our cheers tickets. ;) I'll go pick them up tomorrow/this weekend and report on the wine and liquor pages what we get. He said they'll give me a mixed thing of chips, wine, liquor etc so it could be a separate drawing.

CHECKS: I have 2 and I missed Linda and I'm leaving this Sunday through Wednesday for Destiny's spring break trip so if anyone can pick up the 2 checks I have before this Sunday, 19th, that would be great. Otherwise it'll be 23rd when I can hand them off.

SHELL PT REALTY/COASTAL HIDEAWAY: I virtually introduced Susie to Deb so they can finalize her one page (2 half ads); almost done. I've handed this off to Deb to finalize. PEARSON REALTY: Deb to send Lindsay a full page ad to proof as they have agreed to sponsor $500! I'll buy the other Tshirt since they don't get 2 registrations. I'm sharing the emails to finalize this and I'm out of it. For new donors I do hate telling them they have to register to get the other person since they're a couple. They're NEW and think they should have it at least the first time, 2 registrations but I know this hasn't been decided so I'll tell them to register one. CIVIC: I have a check for them and he loved the half page ad you made, Deb. HARBOR POINT REALTY: I just sent an email to Deb and introduced Susan so that they can finalize her half page ad so I am out of this now. NEW SPONSOR: Marilyn and her husband have a holistic farm and are donating eggs to Kristina (no credit wanted) for the two regatta breakfasts. THEY ALSO want a half page ad for their raw dog food which will be great for the auction but will need to stay frozen so she is working on a certificate for it and her ad but wants to talk to Deb about ad placement. I've given emails to both of them so they can work it out. She will get a half page ad for dog food, and will give it to me when all is over with so that it doesn't get warm at auction, we'll have a certificate for it with details so Digger can talk it up. https://store.raworigins.pet/ or what EVER you guys think you want to do. I can't wait to try this myself. She says dogs eat it like crack. They have an aquaponic farm, raise chickens, etc.

SHELL POINT MARATHON/liquor store: Been bugging Rick/owner and tomorrow morning is my last attempt; he seemed half interested; knows I'm not going away; maybe he will. ha CIVIC BREWING: Haven't heard; won't be going over there this week/scratch them off AN EXCITING COUPLE OF SURPRISES FOR AUCTION I'LL REPORT WHEN I HAVE IN HAND (hopefully this week) ;)

HARBOR POINT REALTY: Deb, she wants a half page ad and is leaving check in my mailbox this evening. Please send proof for me to show her from the business card I sent you. SHELL POINT REALTY: Deb, (a)they want both ads as half on one page and remove the business cards for SP Realty/just leave top half of that ad and then Coastal Hideaway on the bottom of same page. (b) Please create 2 certificates for 1-month storage needs to be created. Each will need to state: "for cars, boats, campers or trailers under 24 feet". Please send me proof of full-page w/both half ads on it and the gift certificates so I can get her approval and then Bob can grab the certificates whenever. HER PAYMENT for the one page ad w/2 half-ads: Each gift certificate's value is for one month and value is up to $60.00 + 7.55% sales tax = $64.21 ($128.42) for two.

Good evening all... 1. Four Points by Sheraton: I just picked up 4 points adorable sand bucket filled with goodies, towels and 2 night presidential suite stay at the top. The view is spectacular. 1.5 baths, kitchen, etc. Their logo will go on shirts as discussed. Thank you

From: Deb

Love that Andrea's email is "ads" Just heard from Sherrie on dinners. They are essentially giving us about a 20% discount on dinners for this year. Hard to assign a firm value. Last year we had 240 dinners. At $3 each that would be a $720 savings. In the past, we have given a small, business card equivalent size mention in booklet. We should do more this year, suggesting at least 1/2 page. I will also try to add a thank you to the dinner tickets, maybe put it on the back. Deb, you probably know Sherrie's mom is due to have surgery soon and she has also been working a lot. I did not ask her for ad copy, thinking you probably had some art work to build an ad from. ?? Thank you. Linda

FOUR POINTS BY SHERATON: I'll be meeting w/them tomorrow after work and pick up the basket worth well over $1000 as the included 2-night stay is $528/night for the Presidential Suite. Not to mention other goodies in the basket and a surprise always on the table of the suite when you arrive.

They're giving $500.00 3. I need someone to please pick up the ONE check from Haute Headz as I cannot pick them up before the deadline. It will cover 2 ad pages as last year and Deb knows what to remove from it. I need to know WHO will go and WHEN so that I can text Somkit and let him know as he asked.
