is the current sponsorship packet. Oh, actually we don't have the sponsorship packet, do we? >> Yeah, this one. >> Yeah, >> I don't have that. Yeah.

10
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:32.960
Okay. Um, so you see the the the flyer I think looks amazing. Um, good job, Kim, on that. >> Um, the and I think there's is there another version? Did you say

11
00:04:32.960 --> 00:04:49.240
>> the one in there is the This one was the one that I did before. Okay. >> And then the the one in here is actually the updated one >> in the packet. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, if you look at the online packet,

12
00:04:52.400 --> 00:05:12.199
did that do that on the Oh, yeah. The online packet. Some reason signature block is all black. That's weird. Um, actually, there's a flyer at the very bottom. It's not in here.

13
00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:28.880
>> No, it's on there. It's on the printed one. >> You'll see it. That goes up. It's >> It's on It's in here. >> Just open up the flyer. >> Open up the >> Oh, this Oh, there. Oh, I got you. All right. >> Gotcha. All right. >> This This was I sent this to Ashley

14
00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:45.600
first before I made those other edits. So, that's why she printed the the ones without the other edits. >> Gotcha. Okay. >> Yeah, except for down here on >> any comments on

15
00:05:45.600 --> 00:06:11.880
>> this. Let's see. Tickets 125. Need an extra space in between tickets and 125. The colon >> where >> the colon and 125 should be two spaces. Uh bring friends. Okay.

16
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:55.919
Same thing. It includes orders. and information admin. >> Does it need to say city [snorts] of Port Richie events committee or just >> just events? Yeah, it's when they write to check out that's what it goes to. I don't I'm not sure

17
00:06:55.919 --> 00:07:12.000
why, but the the presenting sponsor and the code code looks closer to the middle than the presenting sponsor, but if you look at the space outside, so I'm not sure why it's is it cuz Tunnel Tower's foundation is

18
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:27.039
centered. >> Mhm. >> You see what I'm saying? >> Yeah, I can. >> It looks a little >> play with it. Yeah. >> Yeah. Well, once I get the logos change anyway, but >> Yeah. when whenever we get there, we'll just make sure that those are centered. But other than that, I think it looks fantastic. >> What do y'all think?

19
00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:44.880
>> Yeah, beautiful. >> And you like the bringing friends, purchase a table. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. You need a another space in between the question mark and the P2 >> or do you just want me to put purchase a table eight for 900? >> What do you think? Either way,

20
00:07:44.880 --> 00:08:07.199
>> I think just purchase a table, eight tickets, 900 and say about >> probably less words. >> Yeah, take that out. >> I mean, this uh because you got tickets colon, right? Mhm. >> You could put just to keep the format

21
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:24.960
the same, full table colon or full table eight tickets colon and then [snorts] say $900 um per table and then and print these maybe put save 100 like that. So breaks it up a little

22
00:08:24.960 --> 00:08:41.440
bit. You follow me? >> No, you lost. >> So just to keep it in the same kind of same format as tickets. So you got tickets colon two spaces 125 per person. Then you could put table I just put table co uh and then

23
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:58.640
actually table colon eight eight persons or eight eight tickets either way colon space space 900 per table. >> I like how it says this. purchase a

24
00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:16.760
table. Eight tickets for 900. >> I need to explain. >> It's fine. Again, I'm just trying to keep it in the same formatted because you got tickets 125 person. Just kind of match it up with that would be visually that would look better to me, but it doesn't really matter.

25
00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:33.839
>> I'd say less words. >> Well, that would be less words if you did that. I mean just >> because you're taking purchase a table >> because I mean it's your your purchase. >> So you mean purchase a table and then colon eight tickets per >> I'm just saying I'm saying table eight

26
00:09:33.839 --> 00:09:52.320
tickets colon $900 per table. >> Oh so table eight tickets colon $900. >> Yeah. Let me >> save. If I was to put it on top, I would put >> Well, we could just put purchase a table colon and then eight tickets for $900

27
00:09:52.320 --> 00:10:08.399
and save 100. >> Sounds perfect. >> I I think save a 100 is good to leave that on there, but I'm I'm tracking with the mayor on there with >> table purchase. >> I just I don't know. I just know what we're who we're dealing with. >> We're gonna

28
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:35.120
>> This goes back to that math that we were talking about earlier. [laughter] I just this is this is self-explanatory. >> Purchase a put saves. Here's kind of what I was thinking. So table make text abbreviated colon

29
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:53.120
like 900 per table. Say 100. >> Okay. and I put it underneath there. That way it has the same format as that. You don't got that long. >> I think it's going to confuse people. But >> 900 900 for table seats eight saves $100

30
00:10:53.120 --> 00:11:09.120
because table is double. >> However you put that on I whatever you want to do. The only thing I'm calling out is I would put the same format as that. >> Okay. >> I don't really care about the wording or something. >> Okay. I mean it's a long line >> and what I'm trying to capture basically

31
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:25.519
in that section they're getting the pricing >> 125 per person 900 for a table. That's really the core information we need to flow. >> How about that? 900 for a table say 100 >> what you just said. >> Yeah it's that simple like as long as it

32
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:47.920
flows like that then their eye sees the colon colon they know that's the pricing and then they move down the next line they it's other stuff. Yeah. Okay. >> Otherwise, it all kind of blends bleeds together. >> Okay. >> I keep this is just nitpicky stuff. I'm

33
00:11:47.920 --> 00:12:05.920
not >> No, that's fine. I'll I'll tweak it. >> I I have no comments. It looks great. benefits supposed to be with an S or that person from this benefit tunnel to towers or benefits tunnel to tower

34
00:12:05.920 --> 00:12:21.839
foundation and save >> it benefits or benefit >> benefits right >> uh well proceeds >> it sounded fine but >> proceeds benefit >> proceeds from this event

35
00:12:21.839 --> 00:12:53.120
benefit because proceeds is plural benefit If it was just event benefits, it would be >> okay. Proceeds. >> Yeah, good question. in the in the

36
00:12:53.120 --> 00:13:12.000
um buried within somewhere in there. Oh, it's on the front page. It talks to split 8020, but on the flyer it's not. So, I think it's fine. Should we not the ticket where it says

37
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:28.160
ticket price include? Should that be before proceeds from this event >> so people can see like how much everything is and then what does a ticket include? >> Wait, like just this? >> Oh, you're saying flip-flop them? >> Yeah.

38
00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:44.560
>> You mean are you talking about the colons and going proceeds? >> No, she flip-flop drop proceeds under ticket prices. show what you get and then say where the proceeds go. >> I mean, were you doing benefit colon tunnel to towers and the city of Port Richie since you were doing colon colon?

39
00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:59.760
>> No, just colons on the ticket prices. >> I mean, with any you could, like I said, if you move that up, you would have the >> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. >> And I I think I would if you want to

40
00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:15.040
make the proceeds font a little bit bigger just to call out that it's >> what it's benefit. >> Yeah. Because that's important for people to know that hey, I'm not just paying $125. It's going for a good cause. >> Yep. >> So yeah, maybe put ticket price includes underneath the two ticket and table

41
00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:37.440
prices. >> And I probably a little separation there like you have now and then increase the fund size on the proceeds. Okay. Okie dokie. >> And then the um event that you created, we can share that.

42
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:52.959
>> Yeah, I'm I didn't share it yet because I wanted to get the this in there. >> We're not sharing it yet. >> So tonight, as soon as she gives me the thing, swap that picture out >> and that's our our main thing to share. >> Yeah. And that's I'll go over that with you. I'll just kind of show it to you.

43
00:14:52.959 --> 00:15:11.639
Um but yeah, that's if you can >> perfect >> pay your sponsorship, buy your tickets there, everything. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Anything else on the flyer? >> Admin see where you go. That's right. Email address to go to that goes Ashley, I guess. >> Yes.

44
00:15:12.959 --> 00:15:29.120
>> And the QR code is directly to make >> it goes right to Zy. Um, do you think the QR code by itself is enough or should we have the >> on here? Well, because it's in the >> Oh, that's right.

45
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:48.959
>> It's on the Yes. >> Yes. Never mind. >> And then, but for the flyer flyer, should we put tickets? >> Well, that's what we're saying cuz like is this a separate

46
00:15:50.320 --> 00:16:07.519
Maybe >> I mean I scanned it, it went right to Z. So I mean if you scan it, it's going to take you to buy the tickets. So >> and actually on the event itself, >> the ticket link is in there, too. So if they get there, they can see that.

47
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:23.680
>> So this is our Okay. I mean, I think generally people see a QR code, they know to scan it, you know, >> so I don't think we need to call that out. >> I did call it out on the sponsorship thing just to let them know they can sign up online because that's something that's not normally done. They got to send a check.

48
00:16:23.680 --> 00:16:40.560
>> And actually, if they sign up online, anything $1,000 or more, they can request a check payment. So, they don't have to pay online there. >> And that comes to the back channel and it tells them where to send it.

49
00:16:40.959 --> 00:16:57.936
And I actually put on the address. Well, I'll show you in a minute. It um [laughter] it has care of uh sound on there for mayor ball things and make sure it doesn't get lost in the mail. >> Sure. He's happy about that. [laughter]

50
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:14.079
>> It has happened. >> Who did this? Uh Zephy uh made that. Good job. Thank you. has about four hours of work in the middle of the night. >> Good. Yeah. Yeah. No, I've

51
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:31.440
>> You guys see the Zephy, too, don't you? >> Yeah. For the launch and Yeah. >> Yeah. And I I'll tell you what, I'll cover that here as soon as we finalize the the sponsorship packet. We'll go through that. >> Very proud, Mr. Mayor. >> Thank you. >> And did you all read through the the

52
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:46.080
thing? I think that was all good. I think we actually read through that last >> last week. So, that's that should be good. fire looks good. There's a few changes. The sponsorship levels uh were fixed.

53
00:17:46.080 --> 00:18:05.039
And you'll see in this packet. Um I actually had made a couple changes just to keep everything in the same uh order. Some stuff kind of jumped around a little bit, but I I I kind of normalized it. The uh on the lower sponsorships, just

54
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:21.919
to call that out. Um [clears throat] on the Broadway business you get your logo and name and the yellow cab you just get your your name. And then um the [clears throat] notably different one is the yellow cab sponsor does not get any um

55
00:18:21.919 --> 00:18:38.720
uh recognition on the city website and social media. They just basically get day of and their names in the program. Uh, and then all the all the program stuff is for the first four, full page for the big apple, a quarter page for

56
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:55.520
the table sponsors, um, eighth of a page for the lady liberty and a 12th of a page for the life sirens. The way it works out obviously is um, you know, full page and then you got one, two, three, four lines and those will be the individual table sponsors

57
00:18:55.520 --> 00:19:14.320
and then you move late Liberty, you got basically two on each line that gives you your eighth. So len of the page and you have three on each line for the license siren sponsor for the 112 and then we just have a section with logos and names and then a section for

58
00:19:14.320 --> 00:19:31.160
just the names in the program. Any questions on that? And then of course the sign up line u QR codes right there too to do online. If they do sign up online, we'll have to email them a a packet to get the signature page.

59
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:57.480
And then all the other stuff is just pretty much boilerplate legal stuff. And the back page is the signature page. >> Lock it in. >> Lock it in. I'll make those changes.

60
00:19:57.600 --> 00:20:19.679
>> All right. So, let me see what's up next here. Okay. Um before we move on to preparations, I I'll keep going to my sponsorship package. So, translate that to the digital world. Um, if you want to

61
00:20:19.679 --> 00:21:03.200
scan on your phones that QR code, I'll get it up on here. I turn the TV on. >> Zoom share. >> Great. >> Okay. So, if you're looking at that, so the basically it takes you to to the

62
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:18.720
main page and this is a ticketing um event. So, um it has a title. I'll swap the the uh the flyer out. So, that's in there. Um there's some details. I basically just took the the first two paragraphs from the sponsorship packet

63
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:37.280
and tweaked it to apply to sponsors and uh attendees and it's got the date there, the venue. Um there's two categories, sponsorship options and general mission. By default, it lists all the options. So, if you just wanted to see general mission tickets, you click on that and it just

64
00:21:37.280 --> 00:21:54.000
filters those out. And you'll see in there the individual tickets are 125. If you click on add, it asks your name, personal last, your email, and your meal selection. And I put beef stro steak, chicken, marsala, vegetarian. And so that way once once they And these

65
00:21:54.000 --> 00:22:09.440
are all they have to put that in. And so once we get their um uh their pressure ticket, we're going to have their name, email, and we'll have their food choice uh to go back and and look at. >> We have a phone number too to call. >> Uh I can add phone number. >> Can we add a phone number because I know

66
00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:24.080
that we had to call some people for Centennial. >> Well, so actually the phone number I think is what you um let me just see this. >> I'm just thinking what happened when we had Centennial because we had people

67
00:22:24.080 --> 00:22:39.840
that did not choose a meal and we were having to call them like >> I think this one you have to choose a meal, right? >> Yeah. So, there's there's two there's two sections of the of the the purchasing. The first one is per ticket. So, this is has nothing to do with

68
00:22:39.840 --> 00:22:55.200
actually buying. This is you're setting the person's name on their seat and their meal. Okay. >> So, as soon as you do that, you hit continue. >> Then it asks you for uh the buyer information and phone numbers down there. So I can add phone number >> just in case

69
00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:11.760
>> just just in case we have to call anybody because not everybody >> looks at their email that's >> yeah it does get the address on here and then if it's organization but so let me uh let me add phone number that's good call out just pull this out

70
00:23:11.760 --> 00:24:10.240
I can edit on the Bye. [snorts] My password. There we go. Okay. Edit questions. Add a custom question. Great news.

71
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:25.760
And we just probably want this just for the actual buyer or we want it for each individual ticket holder. >> Well, the buyer can contact whoever >> I mean I can capture I can capture for each person. >> Probably just the buyer.

72
00:24:25.760 --> 00:24:41.520
>> Okay. So buyer only telephone >> question phone number and require. Okay. Create question. Okay. Okay. So now when you go to the buyer, you'll see a phone number that's required in there.

73
00:24:41.520 --> 00:24:59.360
I'll put it right underneath the name. So it'll be name, phone number, email, you'll select. Well, sorry. It'll be full address and then phone number. Actually, I'll move all move that up further.

74
00:24:59.360 --> 00:25:26.520
So we got buyers only full name, email, only full name, phone number. Well, it won't let me move up there. It has to come after full address. Okay. So, it's on there.

75
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:47.440
All right. So, I'm going back to viewing it. So, in the back end, I've got it set at 425 tickets. And what's nice about this is as these sell, it reduces the the tickets. So, let's say that uh there's

76
00:25:47.440 --> 00:26:03.760
10 tickets left, a table is eight, and somebody goes in and buys three tickets, that leaves seven tickets. So, then the tables are in a sense sold out at that point. It won't sell tables. So, it adjusts on the fly based on on the the tickets they're selling. So keep track

77
00:26:03.760 --> 00:26:20.080
of all that. The only thing that we'll have to do is as we because this is a ticketing thing and they don't they don't uh um they don't have non- ticketing options to put in here. Um on the Broadway business booster sponsor and

78
00:26:20.080 --> 00:26:35.919
yellow cab sponsor, you'll see in the details the very first thing does not include event tickets. Must be purchased separately. Um if they do that in the back end it actually takes a ticket. So, if I go in and I'm going to be a Broadway business booster, $500, it's going to reduce a ticket. So, I have to

79
00:26:35.919 --> 00:26:52.240
watch that. And as we get those in, we'll have to add those back in. So, we start at 425. If we have a Broadway business booster, I have to bump it to 426 to compensate for that sponsor. That's the only kind of caveat. So, >> and I'm going to email this when when somebody buys, I'll get email. And so,

80
00:26:52.240 --> 00:27:12.159
I'll make sure I I correct the back end if we have any of those. Uh other than that, it's going to keep track of everything. Um as we figure out there's discount opportunities in there. Obviously, I'm not going to share those in public. Um

81
00:27:12.159 --> 00:27:29.520
but um there's a way for us to um for and we need to talk about that, but committee members are going to have us in plus one as a free, right? And so we'll basically go in there and be able to do that. um put those in and it won't charge. Um same thing on any of our uh

82
00:27:29.520 --> 00:27:45.440
dictators that we invite. If we're going to have any kind of discount for staff or whatever, we can once we work that out, I can put that in. That way we can administratively get those tickets secured. All tickets are going to be willled. So basically there'll be a they'll get a souvenir ticket. Um

83
00:27:45.440 --> 00:28:02.320
they'll get an email here confirming their purchase with their ticket amount. And I say in there on the email, let me just pull that up. Um, >> and you said we could pull report. Will it give us a a list like a name list? >> Yeah, it be a name list and if you pull all the information, what they paid, you

84
00:28:02.320 --> 00:28:25.919
know, what what their meal choice was. Um, the let me read the email they get. So, thank you email. I put hi and it puts their first name in there. Thank you for sponsoring and or purchasing tickets to our second annual mayor's

needed for verification. Keep in mind that the Broadway Business Booster and Yellow Cab sponsorships do not include tickets to the event. If you have only purchased those sponsorships and also want to attend the event, you will need to purchase tickets separately. We look forward to seeing you at the ball for a great night of honor and enjoyment. Thank you, Mayor John Cooper. Cuchi and

87
00:28:57.919 --> 00:29:14.640
the um and actually I could put uh I could take that and just put the events committee in there too. I just signature block, however you want to do that. Um and then on there's two reminders. Seven days before the event, uh it says Port Richie

88
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:30.640
Mayor's Ball 7 days away. And that one says, "Hi, first name. Thank you for sponsoring and and are registering for our second annual mayor's ball, honoring first responders and veterans and benefiting the Central Towers organization. We're only seven days away from the event. Wanted to remind you in case it slipped your mind. We look forward to seeing you at the ball for a great night of honor enjoyment. Thank

89
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:47.200
you, Sister Block." And then one day before the event, it sends out another one. It says, "Hi, first name. Thank you for sponsoring and registering for the second anniversary organization. Tomorrow is the event and want to remind you one last time in case it slipped your mind. We look forward to

90
00:29:47.200 --> 00:30:06.640
seeing you tomorrow night at the ball for a great night of honor and enjoyment. So block you want to do the events committee or just me or how you want to do that matter? >> I think it'd be nice just you because it's the mayor's mall. >> Yeah, that's not my thought. But happy

91
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:21.679
to put the event committee in there if you guys. >> Okay. >> I agree. >> So communications signed by me. Yeah. >> Um again, so as soon as they purchase, they get that thank you email and their purchasing receipt with all the details

92
00:30:21.679 --> 00:30:39.000
of their purchase and then seven days before the event they get a reminder and then the night before or day before. >> We said we're doing call. Um I don't know if it was discussed last meeting. I wasn't here. But is that something that they're going to pick up beforehand or the >> No,

93
00:30:39.360 --> 00:30:54.080
they'll check in and Okay. >> We'll have the people checking in. So, in this there's a um a check-in tool. So, you basically [laughter] >> get the favors off the table. >> I think I know where that went. >> Um

94
00:30:54.080 --> 00:31:10.320
>> um and so we'll have a tablet or whatever there that basically you go in there and you can check them off. Um, and it shows that they're they're there. >> Okay. >> And we are going to have tickets like we >> just they're not u not to get in, but

95
00:31:10.320 --> 00:31:26.720
it's kind of a token token like we did last time. >> Yeah. So, their receipt is their ticket, per se. >> Okay. >> And it actually would send out QR codes, which is kind of nice. You can scan the QR code. It checks them in automatically. But because of that, the two sponsors, it it would generate a

96
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:43.360
ticket for them. So, I took I turned that off. >> Okay. and basically said, "Bring your receipt." Everybody gets a receipt. >> Okay. >> Um and so, um their name will be on there and like I said, they got to if you're buying a table eight, they got to put, you know, if they don't know who they're bringing, they can just put their own name in there. Um

97
00:31:43.360 --> 00:31:58.720
>> yeah, >> but um ideally, they would know who they're bringing. They would have all their meal choices set set for mandatory. Um, so they show up at the event name, you'll check them off and then you'll give them their

98
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:16.320
commemorative tickets program. The program is probably going to be on the table. However we do that or maybe even the tickets on the table, too. However you want to do it on the table because they want to take pictures. >> Yeah, that's probably a good idea. Put all >> And then like there's not a hold up when

99
00:32:16.320 --> 00:32:30.960
you >> and the coins will be on the table as well. Let me add that again. And the coins will be on the table. >> On the table. [laughter] >> Yes. >> So basically they just check in and say good here. That's the only thing we'll give out is basically what what table they're at. You're table eight. You're

100
00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:50.279
table seven. >> Um >> go around the corner to the bar. >> For them to take we're doing like photos then they don't have to take the photo and then go. Yes. That's cute. Um,

101
00:32:53.279 --> 00:33:17.200
anything else on the signup? >> They had a couple different options for animation in the back. I just >> the blue with the little sparkly stars. I thought that was There wasn't a whole lot to choose from, but that was the best I thought. Um, >> and then here the button says add a

102
00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:32.480
donation for the city of Port Richie. Yes, that's if they want to do anything un >> So if they do all this by they want to throw a couple hundred dollars extra on it, they can do that. >> Or if they don't want to buy a ticket, they can just >> Yes. They can just >> donate, >> give us 50 bucks, whatever. >> Yeah. >> So, >> okay,

103
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:47.519
>> that's an option I can take on or off. I thought I throw it on there. >> Oh, that's nice. Oh, yeah. >> If they want to give us money, we'll take it. Um um and of course if you guys have used Zephy as you go through the process to

104
00:33:47.519 --> 00:34:04.640
check out by default at the very bottom it has 15% set for Zephy they have to click that they can give less more make it zero. The nice thing about Zephy is whatever this if it's if it's $10,000 we get

105
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:20.320
$10,000. We're not they're not they're not paying anything above and beyond that unless they pay Zephy based on what's in there. But they somebody go in $10,000 and just say I don't want to give Zephy anything. We get 10,000 they get charged 10,000. So there's no fees.

106
00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:33.760
That's what's [clears throat] really nice about this platform. So they really provide it based on those additional donations that people have the opportunity to give them. And they do by default they put it in there by default. So, if you just go through and purchase and you're not watching, you'll donate

107
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:52.000
15% to Zeppy on top of it. [snorts] Um, [clears throat] I think that's pretty much it. And basically all these different options mimics what you see here on the on the packet. All that stuff is is reiterated

108
00:34:52.000 --> 00:35:20.640
in the the digital form. That's really pretty much it [laughter] questions. Um, as far as sharing, like I said, once once Kim gets the changes, I'll update this and then I would encourage everybody to share that out. You can share the Zephy link direct. If you know

109
00:35:20.640 --> 00:35:45.440
somebody wants to buy tickets, you don't have to send them to Facebook or anything. um just send them that uh that Zephy link and they can go right in there and do what they need to do. And so the city has has a ZE account now goes right to that. So for any future

110
00:35:45.440 --> 00:36:01.119
events, we can do all our ticketing stuff out of here. So which you remember last year in the centennial we had some sim somewhat of that in the city was kind of a it was kind of cumbersome >> um to set up and and obviously there was charges on top of it. So this way we

111
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:20.400
don't have to worry about that. All right any questions? >> No you you just mentioned one one one thing. So is that link in on the events Facebook? >> So I so here's let me yeah let me tell

112
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:36.160
you about that. So I created on my mayor page I created the event and I made the city a co-host and we just check that in there. >> So now it shows the city of this is like the city's event. Okay. Um so that's out

113
00:36:36.160 --> 00:36:51.359
there. So that can go out on the city page and shared once we update the the uh graphic um that'll go out and you can share directly from there. If people say I'm going, those numbers will show up in the

114
00:36:51.359 --> 00:37:08.560
event. Um the other post I put out there was for soliciting sponsors and all that. You can if you go to my mayor page, you can share it directly from there to wherever you I think you shared it a couple places. >> Yeah, I did. My my question is is the Zephy link in

115
00:37:08.560 --> 00:37:24.079
>> Yes. >> Okay. >> So if you go to Facebook and you pull up the event >> in the ticketing portion of the event it's the Zephy. So you click on it takes you right to >> All right. >> Yeah. Because there's a question. >> Yeah. There's an option in the event to put the link for your ticketing and so

116
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:40.040
that takes them right there >> because I've made that mistake in the past. And then you got two events. You got >> Exactly. >> Yeah. >> Um so yeah, that's in there. And of course the post I put out there actually shares his FE links takes them right to that. >> Okay.

117
00:37:41.599 --> 00:38:00.079
Anything else >> with the sponsorship or >> on sponsorship? Anything you want to close that agenda item? I think we're we're there. >> You did mention this already. I have a question on this. Um that's next one. So

118
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:13.839
we're getting ready to go to that. Thank you. >> Okay. So, if nothing sponsorship or the zephy signups and all that, we'll close that out. Item number three, mayor's ball preparations. We got a couple things in front of us. Um,

119
00:38:13.839 --> 00:38:28.960
which one you want to start with? The invitation list. >> Um, so are we going to have invitations that go out or just going to do a letter?

120
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:46.800
We sent both last time. So, I mean, if we want to spend the money on the invitations, I think we only order like >> you just the date postcard. >> No, it had the date on it. >> Well, yeah. Save the date.

121
00:38:46.800 --> 00:39:02.880
>> So, so >> cards. They're like little postcards that they send out. >> Well, yeah, but this would this is actually be the invite to go in and it's it's it's a little late in the game to save the day. save a year before even so this is so we put on the calendar I think they get a formal rovation this

122
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:18.800
would be the invitation >> and this this list here is >> who yeah so basically we're inviting them to not only save the date but show up for it and um this these invites would be complimentary tickets

123
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:32.720
>> we're missing one >> who constitutional officer Nikki >> oh yeah listen This was from the centennial. So obviously it needs >> we probably should have her on that too

124
00:39:32.720 --> 00:39:53.359
actually. That's that's one we missed. >> And then I think that's all too >> Pasco County. Yes. clerk can come to work. >> Um, so why don't we Well, so before we do the who on the list, um, do we want

125
00:39:53.359 --> 00:40:09.119
to just do a a letter with the invitation or just a letter or do we actually have some invitations printed up and send a letter with the invitation? >> I think it looks pretty. Or >> I like the invitation. >> Invitation. Yeah, >> I think just the invitation like

126
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:24.000
>> like a wedding invitation, but formal. It should be there should be a letter from you >> and it should have an RSVP. >> Yes. >> Check. >> Yeah, we need because we're holding tickets for them. >> Yeah. >> So, Kim, was it if you The invitation

127
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:40.160
was pretty much the same thing here, just on a small card. >> On a smaller scale, the wording was different. Yeah. >> Yeah. But if you have the invitation and then you have the RSVP card and then they check the box what food they want and then an envelope with a stamp and

128
00:40:40.160 --> 00:40:56.000
then >> the letter when we did the last time the letter said to please RSVP and they emailed you directly. >> Yeah, email RSVP but we can um RSVP with dinner choice have the dinner choice on there. >> Yeah, it's it was on the letter from the

129
00:40:56.000 --> 00:41:11.680
last time. I'd have to I thought I gave it to her to include, but it I guess it wasn't. >> And we've locked in the meals, right? Beastro steak, chicken marsala, and >> vegetarian. >> And vegetarian. >> So, no changes that cuz that's what we're going to go with.

130
00:41:11.680 --> 00:41:36.240
>> Beastro steak, chicken marala, and what? >> Vegetarian. >> What is the vegetarian option here? >> I think it's pasta and vegetables. >> They don't call it out. Just vegetarian is good enough. Yeah. Okay. So, any

131
00:41:36.240 --> 00:41:52.440
thanks for the invitations to get those rock and rolling, do you think? >> You want me to do like just 50 like we did? >> Um, get a price. >> Oh, yeah. One, two, three.

132
00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:19.920
25 would almost cover it. Maybe do uh let's let's go through the list and we'll see what we need. Um obviously some of the people on list probably won't come, but I think it's always good just send the invite. Um,

133
00:42:19.920 --> 00:42:36.480
never hurts to have them on the radar. So, I still I think we still send uh President Trump, the first lady Melania one. Same thing with VP Vance and his wife. Um, obviously the governor and his his

134
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:54.640
wife, Senator Scott. >> Now, are the rest of these plus ones or just the >> Yeah, these would be then plus one. Um, we don't have Moody on here. Oh, Frank. Right. >> I think.

135
00:42:54.640 --> 00:43:16.960
>> Oh, guess down lower. Okay. >> So, we got Rick Scott. Okay. And then we've got Gus. Uh, Ed Hooper, Brad Jagger, Sheriff Mo. >> Ashley is on there. Yeah, she's just on

136
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:33.760
further down. >> Yeah, she's >> so go through those. Okay. And then we move on. Constitutionals. Mike Wells. Uh Fano. We didn't have him on here. >> He's on here. >> Is he? >> Yeah.

137
00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:50.640
>> There's Fano Corly. >> Okay. So, Fano Wells. >> Oh, no. >> And so, we need to add on. Yeah, he's on there. >> The only one is Mickey. >> Clerk controller Mickey. Oh, yeah.

138
00:43:50.640 --> 00:44:04.079
>> We're here with all county commissioners, right? >> I check those down. >> Yep. Are those all right now? We haven't Nothing's changed since. >> Uh, so this is going to be >> correct. >> Yeah, election still is November, so they'll still be

139
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:26.880
>> correct. Uh, so we got Ron Oakley, Seth, Catherine Jerger, and Mariano. Now, Joerger. So, we got Brad Joerger and Lisa Joerger. >> Um, >> yeah, but it is two different Congress.

140
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:42.079
>> Well, I guess you want to do plus one for each of them and then they could they could bring >> for their positions. Yes, >> I think so. And they bring their son and maybe his or somebody. So just do them separate and just do a plus one for each

141
00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:58.480
one of them. >> That gives them they could be somebody's plus one or they can have their own plus one. [laughter] >> Yes. >> Uh I don't see uh Nikki on here. >> We had she's on now. >> Okay. >> We got to put her on there.

142
00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:14.720
>> Okay. So then moving on to um Oh, and then Mike Carbala, county administrator. Okay. So that's all our our reps county folks. So now moving down to our neighboring

143
00:45:14.720 --> 00:45:36.079
city. Um I think we had >> Yeah. So we had the the fire chief for the county that Ryan >> Ryan Gwen >> Gwen include him still. We had not go on there already. Um oh and Brian Corley

144
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:54.560
he's on here. Is there anybody else we're missing? >> I do have a question because you had Ashley Moody and Rick Scott. What about Wilton Simpson and Golia and the other ones

145
00:45:54.560 --> 00:46:13.839
if you have I don't know what sets you're doing. >> Um because you have the others listed. Yeah, I think our rationale last time was to try to find those that were directly involved. Um

146
00:46:13.839 --> 00:46:33.200
>> Okay. Um commissioner obviously as Florida CFOs Florida statewide. Um we could but how many I guess if you open up to that realm I don't want to leave anybody

147
00:46:33.200 --> 00:46:55.440
off as a thing I guess. Hey, Commissioner CFO. Who else in the cabinet? >> Yeah, let's pull that up. We'll see how we got. >> Oh, the attorney general. >> Attorney General. See if the

148
00:46:55.440 --> 00:47:15.599
bag I would put in there as well. It would part of that cabinet. >> Well, he's a he's a rep >> for different district. >> Just a candidate right now. >> So, we have Gus. He's our rep. Right.

149
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:31.440
>> So, the cabinet is currently comprised of attorney general, James, >> CFO, and >> so those three. >> What do you guys think about adding those three plus one? I mean, probably not going to come, but might be a nice gesture

150
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:55.680
govern. So you got the governor, we already got him on there. So we got the egg commissioner, Will Simpson, um Bla1, the CFO, and then the attorney general, who is now >> James. >> I'm okay with that. >> So I had those three. So commissioner,

151
00:47:55.680 --> 00:48:25.839
CFO, and attorney general. Okay, then moving down to Newport Richie. We did the only ones we invited were the mayor and city manager >> and the city clerk

152
00:48:25.839 --> 00:48:56.800
>> and the clerk. Yeah, I'm just thinking if we should invite their council as opposed to just chop city manager. >> I think that would be nice because we're right next sisters.

153
00:48:56.800 --> 00:49:17.839
That's sister city. >> But I just know as an elected official, we didn't get all these tickets comped when I was in office. So I think it's very respectful that you are offering all of these tickets to everybody >> and inviting everybody

154
00:49:17.839 --> 00:49:35.599
>> because you are extending more to the community than most. And with that because we don't want a room full of freebies either. So, >> right. >> Um if see that we're probably about right

155
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:52.400
now we've had about 30. So that's potentially 60 people. >> Oh, because of their plus ones. >> Yeah. So one I mean >> but we did have 50 invitations. That would be 100 people >> if everybody attended.

156
00:49:52.400 --> 00:50:08.319
>> Mhm. I don't know. >> But at the But at the same time, they'll probably not just come for free, you know, they'll sew they'll sew into this through the raffles and or right

157
00:50:08.319 --> 00:50:25.280
different things. >> I think people will purchase tickets as well. >> So I think >> I think it's not that. Well, it's really do you want to offer the I mean I I don't I mean definitely you could invite them but do you get the plus one for everybody as a question?

158
00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:42.720
>> Okay. So we >> so I mean for instance we like uh the vice mayor over there or this use Matt Murf for example he gets a ticket but if he wants to bring somebody as pay >> right >> that's one way to look at it >> because we you know >> I think you should stay directly with

159
00:50:42.720 --> 00:51:00.720
the people that are already on the list and who they've added unless there's >> unless they're directly in your city. So just so you'll still do the the three >> Debbie and Judy. >> Okay.

160
00:51:00.720 --> 00:51:17.280
>> And do we I mean I would be okay to add the police chief and the fire chief, but I don't think we should do all the council. >> I think we should go to the council. Cher >> Why would you go down to the police chief first?

161
00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:35.839
>> I think or give them a discount or we just leave it. Just leave it. Just leave it how we have it with those things. >> This is a fundraiser, too. >> Yeah. Shouldn't be given. We have 29 now.

162
00:51:35.839 --> 00:51:52.319
>> We spent a lot of money on fundraisers back in the day. >> Should we include >> supposed to support your community? >> We don't have to. The reason why we included her because it was a centennial. I mean, and she had been with for a very long time, >> too. and she's worked very closely with

163
00:51:52.319 --> 00:52:08.800
Sal and Ashley. So that was why we included her for the Centennial Fund. We don't have to include her. I mean, it's nice that we do because she works very close with S and Ashley, >> but they could be a plus one of theirs. I >> mean, not a plus one. >> I just I what

164
00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:23.839
>> I mean not a plus one. >> She could be a plus one from them. Like if I were to be invited and then I would bring my aid. Well, Chopper would bring his fiance and Debbie Well, Debbie could bring her. She wants >> I don't think by herself.

165
00:52:23.839 --> 00:52:40.640
>> Yeah. Yeah. Judy will come. No. >> Last year. >> I agree with >> Is she married Judy or? >> I don't know. >> What do you think? I I agree with Amanda [snorts] that I think we should extend the invitation >> um >> to the the council

166
00:52:40.640 --> 00:52:56.240
>> because we're literally just here and then that's it and there's no >> I I agree and but not the plus one. So then would buy a ticket for the plus them and then they have to purchase the plus one ticket. >> Yes.

167
00:52:56.240 --> 00:53:14.240
>> Yeah. They can come for them. But I do think that we should extend that. But >> how do we say that to them? [laughter] You have an invite. >> We have to put it. We'd have to have a separate letter that says >> that's going to go to those council people.

168
00:53:14.240 --> 00:53:30.000
>> I mean, I wouldn't I honestly if I would receive a letter from Mayor Hoover, I wouldn't think it's me and a plus one. I would think me by myself that you're inviting me because I'm the something. I think you they should be I would be

169
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:47.200
grateful just for getting an invite and it would be accommodated. >> Yeah. Well, really it's 50% off at that point if you bring somebody, >> right? >> So I So really then everyone should just be one invitation.

170
00:53:47.200 --> 00:54:16.160
>> I mean it's it's nor I mean it's normal to get a plus one when you do get an invite. Um, I mean, I think we could really just a factor. If we get the sponsorships, if we get if we get a presenting sponsor, this becomes

171
00:54:16.160 --> 00:54:40.200
>> not not an issue, right? Um, >> y'all talking about four more? >> Yeah. I just think that that it's respectful to do it.

172
00:54:44.400 --> 00:55:10.520
>> Let's add council. We'll count them up at the end. So, we got uh Matt Murphy, we've got Brian Jonas, and we've got uh Bertel Butler and Peter.

173
00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:27.040
And we're adding the police chief and the fire chief. Go ahead and add Well, you add chief of higher chief to Port Richie as well. >> Yeah, they're on there. >> Okay. >> Are they at or are they at the full >> full?

174
00:55:27.040 --> 00:55:47.760
>> Okay. >> We are on >> They're not on this. >> They're on the internal list. They were on >> Well, m as much as they work with our fire department and police department. >> Oh, they're not on here because they're

175
00:55:47.760 --> 00:56:22.960
male. Is that why? >> Yeah. >> Gotcha. Okay. So, and then we got Mike Moore. >> And I think >> Well, he's not coming. >> Yeah, that's true. He is not He's not able to come. >> Oh, okay. But he's gone. >> Yeah, we we'll still send him invite,

176
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:38.480
but he he won't be able to use it. Um and then Nancy, our city attorney, I think she may come. So, uh, okay. So, we we did have, uh, David Gwen. He's not the

177
00:56:38.480 --> 00:56:57.440
right person anymore. It's, um, Justin, if we want [snorts] to include Fnot. >> I don't know. >> Justin Justin Hall, I think his name was. >> Oh, the district seven. >> Yeah, District 7.

178
00:56:57.440 --> 00:57:16.480
>> Do we want to include them or Um I mean we don't have to uh we're going to be working with the from the uh the underpass project um would be part of

179
00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:33.119
the NPO and that so it might be nice. >> We already have them >> and I reach out to him. >> What's the name? >> Justin Hall. >> Justin Hall. >> I reach out to him when we have things like the we're working with him now on the thing. else but honor. >> Is there anyone else that you're working

180
00:57:33.119 --> 00:58:00.640
with? >> I think that covers everybody. Um I mean there's others but not really. Okay. So, we got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 12 22

181
00:58:00.640 --> 00:58:26.640
34 25 6 2 3 1 2 3 4 2 3 2 3 4 3. So, that' be 70. How many They probably only have like box 2550 I imagine.

182
00:58:26.640 --> 00:58:48.720
>> Just get 50. >> We can give them to um Frank and >> Gary. Well, >> actually, I think I ordered a I think I ordered the actual invitations from >> what Tori said was the events committee is not on here, but I think it says

183
00:58:48.720 --> 00:59:21.985
Centennial Committee is the new events committee. >> Yeah. So, let's do an internal list real quick. So, we've got >> Wait, that's this one. council. Okay. Yeah. >> [snorts]

184
00:59:30.799 --> 00:59:59.040
>> All right. So we got initially so and um [snorts] my thought is is that um in the case of like myself Amanda S you we

185
00:59:59.040 --> 01:00:17.599
just get our tickets we don't get plus ones to kind of keep the thing down. You okay with that? I mean, if we use that same rationale, you know, I'm here. I'm on the council man here. We get six tickets that I'm just interested in taking care of us and

186
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:32.880
then that. So, >> well, I think we shall have a plus. >> Well, yeah, but I mean, they already have >> I'm not going to get a plus one and a man to get a plus one. [laughter] Yeah. Then I get another plus one for being on council. Yeah. >> So pull it down. But yeah, yeah, the

187
01:00:32.880 --> 01:00:50.720
event comm >> like we did with the acres. We're going to allow them to take a plus one each one of them. >> But here we'll be frugal with our own. >> Okay. So on the internal

188
01:00:50.720 --> 01:01:12.240
>> we got one sley plus one. It is 25. I ordered the last. >> Do we have officially eight on the committee and we're missing the king or >> we got Carol is on

189
01:01:12.240 --> 01:01:29.280
>> is eight. So we have a total of eight now. We don't have a total of >> we have one open, right? >> One open. >> Okay. That's what I was trying. Okay. >> Okay. So then we got cancel plus one.

190
01:01:29.280 --> 01:01:48.480
This is Chris Mayor plus one. >> Oh, this is old. Okay. >> Yeah, it's like super old, but I just wanted you to see what we did for Centennial. So that was kind of why I had her included. >> Christing

191
01:01:48.480 --> 01:02:06.440
plus one. Okay. Plus one. and plus one. All right. So, I'm going to take me off events. Caroline plus one. That's not Adam. That's Christina

192
01:02:07.280 --> 01:02:26.119
plus one. S's off there. J's off there. Kim, I'm just gonna scratch you off, Kim, because S's got you covered. City manager. >> Okay. So, we've got Carol Paris

193
01:02:27.599 --> 01:02:45.680
Troy one plus one is off there. So let's see we got is that everybody? So we got Caroline, Christina, Carol Paris, Troy and Laura only ones that need plus one, right? Yeah.

194
01:02:45.680 --> 01:03:03.760
>> Okay. And I would say we don't do any committees. >> No committee. >> So no citizens advisory, no board adjustments, no planning zoning,

195
01:03:03.760 --> 01:03:20.799
authority, no historic and no coastal. I really paired that down. Oh, so I'm say they had so they had 50% discount. Yeah. Oh, there I would say

196
01:03:20.799 --> 01:03:42.559
nothing. So on this that gives us one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 12.

197
01:03:42.559 --> 01:04:04.799
Okay. And then we don't So the ones we don't have listed is the two chiefs. >> I have them on my list though. >> Okay. So it' be 14 >> or 28. How many? See 35. So it's

198
01:04:04.799 --> 01:04:25.119
about 49. >> Okay. >> So right about the 50. 100 >> 100 >> if they all show which they won't. Okay, so that being said, so we got that's the VIP list. Anything else we

199
01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:43.119
need to add to that? You think? >> Do we want to offer any kind of discount? >> Employees? >> Yeah. They should. >> I mean, it was they didn't come last time.

200
01:04:43.119 --> 01:05:01.039
>> Um, >> I think it would be nice if we at least offered a discount. Yes, they did want to. I don't expect them to, but >> take 25 off. >> Yes. >> 100.

201
01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:24.440
>> Yeah. That don't make very much money. So more than 25 calls are going to be about >> 70. >> Yeah. 75. >> Is the ticket 150?

202
01:05:26.640 --> 01:05:49.359
>> If we gave him $50 off, that's 75 covers. >> Yeah. $75 just city >> that would cover the food but it didn't cover anything else that >> well once you get more people there and

203
01:05:49.359 --> 01:06:06.319
if it was already a soldout event after so many years then that would be one thing but it's just increasing additional people and bodies in the room and then hopefully they would also participate in the different auction and things like that. So, you really just want to fill the room at this point

204
01:06:06.319 --> 01:06:22.960
>> and there's nothing. >> Well, what I I do really want to have some money to benefit >> the organization. So, in my mind, I'm okay with 25. I mean, if you're giving to them for 75, you're actually somewhat

205
01:06:22.960 --> 01:06:38.400
taking a loss on those. And and I don't have a problem with that so much as if they all come at that price then um >> people can't come they're going to pay full price. So >> 100 for employees. >> Well what if you do the first 20

206
01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:54.960
employees for 100 early bird special? >> No I mean we should just have it because it's a benefit. I can tell you last time what we did >> give we couldn't even >> we couldn't give them away. So based on

207
01:06:54.960 --> 01:07:10.079
that probably will come anyway but I still want to encourage them to participate. So I think taking 25 off is is plenty. Like I said >> employee city employees $100. >> We had we had a block that was going to be totally free. I think by how

208
01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:26.079
>> Yeah. There was like maybe 10 people. >> I mean and all the all the committees had 50% off and they didn't. >> No. Yeah. So the only one I think comes is Lorie Simpson and I think we had staffwise we had a handful three or four folks tonight

209
01:07:26.079 --> 01:07:41.039
and >> it's a charity event. I think we should be able >> Exactly. I want to make sure that the charity gets something. >> Are there any sponsorships sold already? >> Not yet. >> Not yet. >> But I I've got I've got a couple that are going to um >> we're a month and a half.

210
01:07:41.039 --> 01:07:57.422
>> Oh, we all have to work it. We will all work it. Well, the nice thing about the way this is working is all the sponsorships get taken except for those two. >> So, um >> the centennial we did in like three weeks

211
01:07:57.422 --> 01:08:12.880
[laughter] to share on their page. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And I think that's going to also bring in people because people want to for that. >> I don't think we're not going to sell it out. Be shocked. >> And how many tickets do we have? Like

212
01:08:12.880 --> 01:08:33.199
425. You said >> 425 is the max. >> So 25 off for >> city of Port Rich employees >> and that doesn't include committees or anything. That's just

213
01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:52.279
>> I said 25% $25 off. So their tickets are 100 >> which is the same as if they sold a table of a nine, >> right? That's good. >> That's Is that 20%?

214
01:08:52.960 --> 01:09:08.480
>> It's a little bit more than 25 cuz 25% of >> 100%. >> So it's 100 is 20% off. So it's >> Yeah, cuz the table price is 11250 the 10%. So basically employees are

215
01:09:08.480 --> 01:09:36.080
getting 20% off. Anything else on pricing should cover it. Um I'll create a code for employees. I just just have the we when we put it out have them coordinate

216
01:09:36.080 --> 01:09:51.759
with get those acquired. And then for us, I know we're going to have Are we just You're just going to put us in. If we are, if we tell you if you get Yeah, we'll we'll get you put in

217
01:09:51.759 --> 01:10:07.840
and get you signed up. >> Okay. >> You were saying for the what >> for us? Like if we're going just say Hoover, we're having two. Then >> I don't want to publicize any codes. We'll just >> And then Eventbrite. >> That's exactly what we were talking. I'm

218
01:10:07.840 --> 01:10:24.480
trying to listen. Yeah. Um, could we do an Eventbrite as well? It it pushes it out to more people. >> I can do that. I have one for the citizen advisory committee. >> Yeah. >> So, I can push it out through there because I think that's just just all of us working on it. So, I can do it as an

219
01:10:24.480 --> 01:10:41.280
event, >> put it out there. I'll put it on Bay News9. >> Um, and I'll contact others that I normally do and just put it out there. >> What about the Sun Coast News? I I'll tell you what I'll do since I got the contact. I'll uh once she gives me

220
01:10:41.280 --> 01:10:56.000

221
01:10:56.000 --> 01:11:12.719

>> Yeah. Anything you can get small stuff, but >> Yeah. >> Like the 500 I mean that'll cover some of the desserts or something >> because the 500 you have the logo and name listed in the event program. >> Yeah. >> And then even the 250, the name listed in the event program. It's putting businesses out there.

225
01:12:02.400 --> 01:12:17.040
>> Yeah. I mean, they're getting advertising for every level. Exactly. >> Um, like I said, and if like I said, if we got one presenting sponsor, so I won't feel bad if one of y'all >> grab it. I'm I'm going to be trying to get it, but you if you guys got some

226
01:12:17.040 --> 01:12:32.800

227
01:12:32.800 --> 01:12:49.199
day. Huh? Coast. I'm send over them because they do stuff for the left. >> Yeah, that would be >> more likely probably be a car dealer just because it's they they normally the ones that have that kind of money. Um, so I'm going to reach out to Honda and and

228
01:12:49.199 --> 01:13:04.400

So hopefully we can we can get them for this. >> And we saw the guy. >> Yeah, I was going to mention it to him, but uh I figured I'd wait till I had to. >> You're waiting. You're waiting. And then the other ones, Time Square, Table

01:13:21.520 --> 01:13:37.840

231
01:13:37.840 --> 01:13:54.080
Yeah, >> I'll update that. So, if we're okay, if everybody's okay with that, I'll update it with city stuff on it. >> Donations. So, I mean, if anybody wants to get donations for like the baskets too, >> we ask them to bring like gift cards,

232
01:13:54.080 --> 01:14:10.520
products or services, gift baskets, dining, travel or culture experiences, and unique items representative of their business. >> Debbie, I'll tell Debbie. >> Yeah, get Debbie on that. She will get us basket stuff like it's nobody's business.

233
01:14:10.800 --> 01:14:27.440
>> Silent auction [laughter] and raffle baskets. Are you doing both? Silent auction, raffle basket. Are you doing live too or? >> So, we're gonna have >> we're going to have one >> one possibly two big items. I still got to reach out to Damian about possible

234
01:14:27.440 --> 01:14:43.920
picture, but the dollhouse is being made. So, um and we'll have baskets. So, we'll probably have to do we'll probably do a a live auction for the dollhouse and the picture if we get that. Um, and then the rest of the baskets will be I

235
01:14:43.920 --> 01:14:58.480
kind of like the buying the tickets >> put them in there. >> Um, >> we can do that. >> I don't know if it's to me in my mind I think you would probably generate more money that way

236
01:14:58.480 --> 01:15:14.480
than than just writing stuff down. But I don't know. >> No, I like the ticket because then we have cash in hand and we know >> people are buying stuff. Yeah. >> I like to see them buying the tickets, too. Yeah. >> And did we walk last time? Did we walk

237
01:15:14.480 --> 01:15:29.199
last time and sell the tickets or we just told him to go in the front? >> We had the >> Yeah. >> Walking. >> No tickets. >> They went up to him and bought the tickets for him. >> Should we have some I don't mind doing

238
01:15:29.199 --> 01:15:46.320
that like at a certain time just walking. >> Yeah. Say, "Hey, you know your last time for >> We'll definitely announce it. Go out and get your tickets for the push." You go to people and then next to the bar you're like, "Yay!" [laughter] >> I mean, it's it's fun. It was really

239
01:15:46.320 --> 01:16:02.800
fun. >> That's because you won. [laughter] >> I won two >> more. >> I think I won something. >> I still have Yeah, you did. >> I did. >> The champagne. That was fun. >> Yeah. Do it again. But guess what? I'm a

240
01:16:02.800 --> 01:16:18.320
what is it? A repeat customer. Cuz now I'm going to try again. >> Yes. Yes. You know, it's a lot more fun when you guys actually call the raffle ticket out instead of, "Oh, we'll just go check and see if any of your raffle tickets happen to win outside." I hate it if we do.

241
01:16:18.320 --> 01:16:36.000
>> Oh, no. We didn't. >> I was like the basket lady. I kept the basket. >> I like that. I just I don't know which would be more profitable because if you have a nice basket, people going to bid it up. But I don't know if we're going to have I mean I've been some things they've got like stuff signed by ex

242
01:16:36.000 --> 01:16:50.400
president stuff like that. >> But there's also companies out there that actually come in if we did the raffle baskets. There are other companies that will come in and do the silent auction items. >> What do you mean? >> I actually bring the silent auction

243
01:16:50.400 --> 01:17:06.159
items in. They get obviously a cut from the top to cover the cost of the item and then >> over Yeah. There's something I don't know how it works exactly >> like a reserve on the auction or something that >> they get something but because they

244
01:17:06.159 --> 01:17:22.800
provide all the materials but there are a few of companies out there that do that. >> We could see what we we get and then closer we'll see if we want a silent auction in. >> Yeah. I mean I don't envision have anything really of great value that

245
01:17:22.800 --> 01:17:38.560
would do that. So probably tickets work best. We're gonna have the the dollhouse will basically go live on that one and a picture. >> Throw this out there. I don't know how to use it, but I purposely bought time share. Um, but I can give away so many.

246
01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:54.560
So, if anyone knows how to do that, I have extra packages I can >> I'll put also like in a basket. You want to put that? >> No, I don't know how to do it. I'm saying if someone knows how to do it, I'm more than willing to to but to put the back put it in. I feel like it's on an auction or I need a live auction or

247
01:17:54.560 --> 01:18:09.840
something for a bigger page. >> Why don't you call your thing and find out? >> Because I haven't even used it in five years. >> I got lots of vacation time. >> Okay. Um, we need to get the decorations

248
01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:25.600
solidified. So, take a trip take a look at those. >> I may. >> No. >> Yes. It's really hot, you guys. Um, [snorts] try to reach out to Juliet. I found her contact information after I was searching. I'm going to reach out to

249
01:18:25.600 --> 01:18:47.120
her and then we need three. So, I have Juliet. I have another gentleman. >> Yes. And then there was another lady. I think we'll just reach out to her. >> I take a down there for sure sometime. >> I only had to look Sorry,

250
01:18:47.120 --> 01:19:02.640
>> we had the Yeah, there was a gentleman and then he couldn't get the feathers. I was reading emails. >> The problem with the feathers >> and then Yeah. And then feathers and then there was someone else and I had to look through that. Couldn't find it. >> Did we do the character guy again?

251
01:19:02.640 --> 01:19:25.280
>> Yes. >> I would say yes, >> but >> he was like 500 bucks, I think. We have it here, don't we? It was I think it was it was probably 500. Then he took tips. >> Yeah. >> It was 300.

252
01:19:25.280 --> 01:19:40.239
>> Oh, Fuckler was the two ladies. >> All the the dancers. >> We Well, we have to find out what we're going to if we're going to have something like that. Rockets style. >> Oh, rockets.

01:19:55.440 --> 01:20:11.840
>> We'll find out. We do Paris next year. [laughter] >> Entertainment. >> Not sure that >> small entertainment thing. Do we want to have any kind of ask the music obviously, but did we want to

255
01:20:11.840 --> 01:20:28.640
>> What music are we having? >> I have to I have to ask reach out to the DJ. I didn't do that yet. >> Okay. Music. And then I did reach out to the photographer. >> Does anybody know anybody that that that dances that could do maybe a like swing
