So, I am really starting to get excited about the coming
skating season. I am still really
nervous about skating. (Haven’t even
been back on the inlines since May) But, I am really motivated to help the team
build their fundraising events and raise more publicity for the team!
How are you going to do this you ask? Well, this is what I have
started planning. Please let me know any
suggestions, changes, or “OH NO, don’t do that’s. ;)
Fundraising
1.
Dine to Donate – using area restaurants every
other month. We have used Applebee’s in
the past and they worked out great. I am
looking to expand our options.
2.
Scrip Program – This looks really awesome. Great for holiday gifts and if you plan right
and buy ahead of time; you can use them for everyday shopping.
3.
T-Shirt sales at events
4.
Thinking of doing Nelson’s Chicken – I think the
corner of Coliseum and Lima is an AWESOME location. Anybody ever use them? I have heard good things about them.
5.
Fazoli’s – Have a spaghetti dinner/silent
auction
Publicity/Awareness
1.
Create a Facebook Fan Page – That way the
community can get information about the team, what we are doing, where we are
going, what medals we are bringing home.
2.
Create a Twitter Account – I am going to tie
this in with Facebook for instant updates, such as at a meet or during a
fundraiser.
3.
Create a flyer – This is to help promote the
team, and also get new members.
4.
Looking for new talent – Start hitting the rink
and inviting kids to a practice.
So, this is where I am starting at, I am thrilled, excited, ready to go, and I know this is going to be a great season for Team Roller Dome!
