Community Printers

I want to change our invitations, but it is very pricey and not in the budget!!!
I have asked Community Printers to be a Program Sponsor totaling a $500 donation. This will help with the cost of the printing.
I have not heard official news back yet. But I am keeping my fingers crossed and you should to.

I am really hoping they will come through :)

Sponsor

We have a confirmed sponsorship of $500 from David Martini of Don Hardy Insurance. Possible sponsorship from Lighthouse Bank, will meet with them this week.

Very Exciting News

I have a phone meeting with Robert Strong on Tuesday. He was our comedy magician at last year's event. Everyone LOVED him! I am so thrilled he is willing to come again for our event. He will double as of course the comedy magician as well as the auctioneer.

Here is a link to his web site to check him out: http://www.strongentertainment.com/

Ideas

*I am now looking into working with Community Television of Santa Cruz for a 5 minute documentary about BALANCE and Imagine and our event. They will play this on the local programming. I am excited about this, it sounds like a lot of good coverage.
*I am also looking into KFOX and KSUP for announcements or even sponsorships.
*Last thing, I am in search for local familiar faces, people with great personalities to be our Celebrity dealers at our tables.

More to come.

Happy New Year!!!

I know its February!!!!! January flew by!!!!
Updated information:
*Kent and I put a donations link on the BALANCE4kids website. We are working on a link to purchase tickets. This was tricky though due to the different ticket prices we are having, but I think we have managed to figure out what we are going to do.
*I have also started working on the Invitation and RSVP cards. I have a first draft of the front of the invitation. It looks great. I need to figure out what I type of paper I will print on.
*Things are moving along great.
*I have a meeting with Seascape Golf Course This week to talk about final decisions, colors and the layout of the room. I will update how that meeting goes.
Thanks for all the hard work!!!
