And the Wheels Begin to Turn Again


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!
