Need help contacting donors/sponsors

[chriscoli]

Hi folks,

I have a few donors and sponsors that I need help with. I've already sent them an email but I need some folks who can pick up the phone and give them a call for me. If you're able to call a few, please PM me and I'll assign you a few.

Thank you for your help!

Christine

Thank you to those that volunteered to help! It's much appreciated!

I've tried to reach out to most of the companies that we all know, but do any of you have suggestions for sponsors that you think we should contact? Shout them out and I'll let you know if they're on my list or not.

You might try calling Aquatic Creations in Hyattstown. I've talked to them a few times in the past and sent them an email today, but it might sound better coming from an official BOD member.

We've also gotten donations from Peabody's Pardise in the past (http://www.peabodysparadise.com/index.html) and I've noticed that Erik Lucas of BuyPetShrimp.com is fairly generous (at least with GWAPA). He's close enough (NJ) that he might be willing to come vend at the event.

There's one other that's a bit weird/whacky, but, assuming it's the same manager (http://mywaterstore.net/contact-us-directions/) the guy at MyWaterStore in Rockville geeked out a few years ago when I told him about BFD. They sell RO water and are great in a pinch if you need a few 5 gallon jugs of RO. I wonder if they'd be willing to donate a 20 gallon punch card. I haven't been there in a few years (since getting rain barrels), but, you never know.

Good ideas, Becca. Are you amenable to giving Peabody and the water store a holler for us?

I'll shoot Peabody a FB message (how I got in touch last time). With the water store, I might be best off visiting in person.

I will have my 5-year old today because schools are closed. Will still be there to help, but I'd like to try to hang around for the BPS delivery so it doesn't blow away.

Becca No problem. I know it's always tricky when you're juggling multiple priorities! We'll see you when you get there.

This event is cursed.
