6
00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:14.959
a good event. Um it uh lots of positive comments. So, obviously, we'll jump into that in in our item of business, but uh yeah, definitely thanks the staff and and the board for all the hard work for sure because it did uh it did come out very nice. Okay. So, let's uh close that

7
00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:30.640
comments out. The uh next up is committee business item number one, boom on the bayou event post discussion and thoughts. So, anybody have any um feedback on how to take forward

8
00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:46.800
maybe for the next lessons learned type thing or something we could do different, something we shouldn't do? >> I like how the vendors were um good on the trail. M >> I think it was uh better at least for one like if you're a consumer

9
00:02:46.800 --> 00:03:02.159
>> it's a better trail I guess it's more in your base and then you're going to you can see food and you can see this and that. I don't know. I like that better. I don't know if we can do continue to do that. >> Yeah. Depend on different vendors but yeah >> or maybe do that and then put them elsewhere >> later on. But it was nice. It was I

10
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:19.200
don't know. I just it looked nice. >> Yeah, it it did uh it seemed to work well too. Like I said it forced people to go through there. I think that vendors had more traffic because they had to go that way to get food and vice versa come out. So, >> I haven't gotten the numbers yet, but yes, one one did the booby coolers.

11
00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:36.239
>> She sold $162. >> Like $6 each or $7 each. >> Yeah. >> So, 162 is pretty good. Yeah. >> Yeah. Uh I want to say that uh well, Sean, I think he told me that he did $8 or $900 for his alltime floats. So,

12
00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:51.519
>> okay. Good. >> I didn't get numbers from anybody else, but he he did mention that. So, >> yeah. >> What are the other You said compared to the other ways. I definitely like how they were lined up. I think in the past we've had so many more vendors and couldn't really do that, but with all

13
00:03:51.519 --> 00:04:07.200
the food trucks being lined up, it seems consistent. >> Yeah, we've always done the food trucks along there kind of more spread out fashion. Um, and when we did seafood festival, obviously all the vendors were up in the grass part, right? >> Um, you know, the tent vendors. Um, and we had 80 some or something I think that

14
00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:23.040
that event. >> So, you're talking more about on the walkway in as well, which I saw there was the Nona Italian ladies and >> Yeah, we put all the tents >> all the tents were there with the food trucks >> and then you saw them on the way in. The one the one challenge with that was is

15
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:38.000
the food truck food trucks have to have a minimum of 10 feet between them and it was you know they never arrive in the the order that would be optimal you know all the way at the end and then you if we staged those coming in so we wouldn't have to kind of jock them in position

16
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:54.880
that'd be a lot easier but uh we had to put them very tightly together um in order to allow room for the for the tents but it worked out okay >> something that would take longer but just like when you're getting ready for a parade have everyone line up by 5:30. Give them like a half hour window to line up where

17
00:04:54.880 --> 00:05:10.160
they're supposed to be and then you just >> buy them all in and come right on it. >> We did have we did have um one of the in the layout one of the tents that was right up against the tree because it angles around. It kind of curves around there. Um because she was

18
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:27.039
the last one there, the people that was beside her was a little bit in. So she she had to be set back. Um so that's just just a little tweaking there. It's hard to get people there on a certain time, but for sure the food trucks because, you know, they're they're attached to a a truck that they've got to, you know, drop their

19
00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:41.840
trailer off and all that. And so if you get the other food trucks in place and you're trying to fit in the middle, it becomes very very challenging. Um, so I think if we if we do that going forward, try to let the the food trucks at least know that, hey, you need to be here this

20
00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:58.000
time and stagger them so that it's a little easier to move in there >> if if you know that'd be best case. But it's kind of a big ass too to have people come different times. But >> the cut off was good. I think cut off was good. >> Um, we did

21
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:14.080
>> I think so. I think the next time we need to like sign for the restroom because everybody was lost when they're all walking like they can they cannot see like >> yeah that was >> like where's the restrooms where the restroom was funny

22
00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:30.080
>> they were they were closed off there and they were used to going up there and had direct them so yeah >> maybe have a sign printed out that we could tell >> where to go >> it was funny several people complained about having to walk down to the portaotties or even use portaotties at all and of course like I We were in

23
00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:47.360
Washington for their event and it was it was a long walk to the to the restrooms. I mean, even in the in the areas where they were kind of gated in controlled access, you think they'd had their own set of portaotties there, but they didn't. They were all on a central location far far away. Even the food and

24
00:06:47.360 --> 00:07:03.360
all that. So, >> even for the UFC fight, you had to go all the way around down the really long road and then even when you get in, the bathrooms were all the way down >> on the outskirts. Yeah, it was crazy. I wouldn't I don't know if I could do that. >> So, the moral of that story is is people

25
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:19.120
are going to complain if they were right next to the 45 which they weren't very far right. >> Oh my gosh, you need to walk. >> It's literally right there. >> Wasn't that far >> there? Uh there was one issue of that

26
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:35.759
that was a little bit of a concern because it was a it was an elderly lady that didn't move very well. And so for her to walk down there, it was something. So, you know, it it would be kind of nice to have maybe one there.

27
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:51.039
>> Maybe not have them all together, but have one there where the where we lock the bathroom just so somebody handicap or whatever can use that and not have to go so far. >> Can we put them all there >> just like behind the pavilion? Like >> could do that too. But same issue though is then you have people

28
00:07:51.039 --> 00:08:06.080
>> and then and then we had to block it off because of the fireworks the debris. So >> okay even if it was one that sounds one or two and then two over there it seemed like the bathrooms there was always a line when you walked by. >> Yeah. >> Maybe we should get more than the four

29
00:08:06.080 --> 00:08:22.240
that we had to for the next time. >> And this year it seems compared to previous years in previous years you weren't even really able to walk through the crowd. This year it was a little bit lighter, but of course everyone spreads out, but it just seems

30
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:37.279
not as packed. >> Yeah. >> And it could be because it was Sunday. It could be because the other the night before. >> Well, I heard so I don't know. Do we ever get a unofficial count from anybody? >> Um I heard >> checker, but I don't >> from utilities folks. They seem to have

31
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:52.720
thought that that was the most attendance we've had compared at least to the the Centennial. I think it was similar Centennial because I think we had quite a few there for that too. other Boom on the Bayou events anyway. It was probably more attended >> it was more than more than Boom on the B

32
00:08:52.720 --> 00:09:07.680
the other Boom on the B. Yeah, >> they said >> it got packed after when the sun went down. >> So, we might want to consider maybe starting a little bit later next time. Maybe >> do that. Yeah. The challenge is if and I

33
00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:25.279
tell you it was sparsely when we opened it was I mean he was performing to just a handful of people. Um, and we had enough time with two hour music in there that we could have we could have pushed the opening half hour for sure and probably an hour and that way he would

34
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:41.839
have been able to perform >> to 9:00. >> Yeah, because we had a little little filler in there. >> Yeah, I was say you can always open >> and just have the live music start a little bit later. >> I do think that maybe we could have a different variety of music for next

35
00:09:41.839 --> 00:09:58.880
time. Um, >> yeah, I agree. It was all Johnny Cash stuff. >> Yeah. And it was it was I was seeing the crowd and it was like younger crowd in that sense. I'm like maybe we could put some like was Johnny Cash and I was like okay I'm old. >> Yeah, we really he was just he did so

36
00:09:58.880 --> 00:10:13.839
well for the centennial bring back. >> He was nice. I'm saying have something else. Maybe it's the DJ or something >> somebody does top 40 or something like that. >> Yeah, exactly. No, I think that would be better served. That that's the only I

37
00:10:13.839 --> 00:10:32.000
guess bad thing about Bill is he's Johnny Cash does a bang up job of that. But it is just that. So, >> I did notice when the fireworks started, people started backing up so they could see it better, but there's no way of changing that. And that's what we got.

38
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:50.079
It was beautiful. >> You never know where fireworks are going to end up. No, except the Centennial. They were really coming down. We didn't have near the >> There was nothing like Centennial. >> No, we had big shells that you pick up.

39
00:10:50.079 --> 00:11:07.040
>> My trampoline had tons of debris on it. >> Did they really? >> Yes. >> The I didn't redo the screening because the screens usually get >> No. chocolate. >> Well, I'd heard that the guy selling funnel cakes that when they started he had stuff falling in his grease.

40
00:11:07.040 --> 00:11:23.600
>> Oh. >> So, they were actually getting some stuff over there. >> Oh, wow. >> So, but there's >> extra flavor. >> Um, >> yeah. >> Um, the parking on Old Post, if I would

41
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:39.519
have thought about it beforehand, we should have had the cones out there prior to anybody coming into the park. as far as vendors. >> Oh, right along that. >> Yeah. Next time we'll have make sure we have to have enough cones to block that all off because police and fire need that open. And they made it very clear

42
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:54.959
that they need that both in and out. >> Well, I I I found it incredibly funny that despite the sign saying park your own risk, people took on the risk. >> Yes, they did. >> Because I I heard it was completely full in there. Yes. >> Which that surprises me.

43
00:11:54.959 --> 00:12:11.600
>> Yes. There was somebody that did make a complaint that next time we'll get park at your own risk in the park as well. Won't be as like dramatic as the ones for on the Burke property, but definitely a park at your own risk because somebody had already said that they parked in the park and their car

44
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:26.160
got damaged. >> No. >> So, and I don't know how, but it's being investigated right now. I don't know >> like another car hit it or something or something. No, they said that there were there were ruts in the park, which I walked that park a million times between Friday and Sunday, and there was no ruts

45
00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:42.639
that would have damaged a vehicle. So, I don't know what they're talking about. >> Where were they parked? >> I don't know. They said they were in the park, so I don't have all the details, but I would definitely >> recommend that we get some signs that say park at your own risk in the park, >> right? Not that it's unsafe like over

46
00:12:42.639 --> 00:13:00.639
there, but at least the city's not responsible for any damages because we didn't have anything in the park that said that. So, >> like I said, I don't know what they to what extent they're claiming, but >> well, you'll have that, I guess.

47
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:21.440
>> Yep. >> Parking seem to go okay. We got quite a few more parks or cars parked inside I think with that extension. >> Yes. >> I didn't know if it was wet again after they had >> No, they actually put fill in there. Um so it was raised up so it was it was

48
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:37.360
totally dry back there. >> Okay. >> Was there any like golf carts? Was there a lot of golf carts? >> We probably at one time there was probably at least 15 golf carts over there. >> There's a few. >> Yeah, they kept going. >> They ended up sitting in their golf carts to watch. A lot of them sat in their golf carts to watch the fireworks

49
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:52.639
over there. That's nice. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. They just pulled up right to where the caution tape was and they were all watching the fireworks from over there. >> Yep. >> That was one thing we probably need to improve on is the golf cart direction because they they still want confusing.

50
00:13:52.639 --> 00:14:15.120
Yes. >> So maybe couple extra golf cart signs with with arrows >> that we can kind of place out to get them to the the area. And >> we didn't block off that area back behind the pavilion very good. It was I

51
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:35.040
know there was I think two cones of caution tape there, but other night was pretty open. >> Mhm. >> They were just kind of driving around it, so we can probably maybe control that a little bit better. Y um other than that I can't really think of anything else.

52
00:14:35.040 --> 00:14:55.279
You guys think of anything else? Yeah. I don't I don't know what we're going to do if we ever do lose that uh that lot there when they get that developed. That's going to be challenge. I wondered >> if anybody parked over catches. I know

53
00:14:55.279 --> 00:15:10.639
they were charging I think on those lots. >> I know that they there was a lot of people parked in the two the whiskey Joe's lot that the city owns and then that other lot right next door. There were a lot of people parked there too >> middle area. >> Yeah. Did Laura happen to mention

54
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:26.959
parking at Cancun Beach? Anybody have to ask her? >> I'm not even sure how I'm assuming the restaurants were full too for the fireworks. >> Yes. I haven't heard from many of them, but >> And we did get about 20 cars in down at that at Grand and all post.

55
00:15:26.959 --> 00:15:41.839
>> Oh, you didn't? >> We did get close to 20 cars in there. >> Yeah, we we tetrised them in there. >> Yeah. Well, I think people were parked on the Gildog lot, too, aren't they? >> There were people over there, too. >> I think that one's actually probably worseer shape than the other.

56
00:15:41.839 --> 00:16:07.839
>> It is because when I went in there to put the signs in there, I mean, there was like huge pieces of asphalt and pipe like all over the place. I'm like, "Oh gosh, I hope nobody parks in here." But they were parked in there. >> Okay. Anything else? >> Start getting ready for next year.

57
00:16:07.839 --> 00:16:25.040
>> To get more flyers out at Publix locations. >> Yeah, we could definitely do better on marketing all the way around for sure. Um, >> are there ever flyers just left out front? They don't they don't have a table out there, don't they? >> They were There were some out there. Yeah, they've been out. They were out there. >> I never got distributed. I think you

58
00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:41.360
were not here, but I I know distributed at one of the meetings. Flyers to all of us. >> Yeah. >> And I said, don't there's table out there. They do try to keep them on there. Could have been out when you was in or whatever, but they they do try to keep them out there. I don't know if they had them the bulletin board there in the park,

59
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:57.680
which needs probably some work. I'd mentioned that before. There was old stuff in there. I don't know if they had anything out there in that or not. That would be great. >> That's a >> But there were signs at the park, too. So, I mean, >> you know what you're saying? Um, what about a sign that says like yearly events like this month we have this,

60
00:16:57.680 --> 00:17:12.799
this month is this, this month is this. So, July is we want to buy you, September. >> Yeah. Know that's that's the idea of that bulletin board out there. It say I think it's two sides of glass, isn't it? Yeah. >> Has year round events and then has the more detail. >> Yeah. I don't know what's in it. It had

61
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:27.760
centennial events in it for the longest time. in there. >> And I did notice like the Nona group, they were advertising one of their I don't know if their event was in October, >> October. >> I think it would have been really beneficial next time to have the city

62
00:17:27.760 --> 00:17:43.679
tent with the information on the 911 memorial um the mayor's ball and everything like that. >> Yeah, we we've talked about that and um staff will be there to sit there. That's, you know, that's the problem

63
00:17:43.679 --> 00:17:59.440
that these events take a lot of work and there's only a handful of us that are doing all the work. >> Yeah. So, we got staff to sit there at the thing. Um, and we didn't really have all the flyers ready for the future events anyway. So, but it is nice to

64
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:14.799
have that. >> But even if your tent, there was another tent that was vacant. It may have been there >> as ch whoever. Yeah. But if you had your tent, even if it was next to Light of the World or someone that we know and just had the information on it

65
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:31.360
>> and then they can people walk back and forth. >> And we did that for the seafood festival. We the intent was to do it this time, but we uh decided not to because it's another tent set up. Somebody has to man it and they got stuff to hand out information. So we just, you know,

66
00:18:31.360 --> 00:18:48.240
>> decided not to do it. But it it definitely something we want to try to do for sure if we got people to do it. >> Anything else? >> Okay. Um and I would like just on that on that

67
00:18:48.240 --> 00:19:05.200
bulletin board out the park. I do want to see what we can do to to uh fix that up and utilize that more. Whether we end up putting some digital thing in there or something. I know we're looking at different signage. So, we'll definitely hopefully get to use that a little bit more going forward.

68
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:22.960
All right, number two, upcoming events, Mayor's Ball. So, obviously, we've we got this coming up September 11th. Um, I do have an update on the some logistics. We still got to put the policy in place to be able to move money to a nonprofit. Um I I I did talk to um

69
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:39.840
Tunnel Towers and they do have a way to um silo that funding um so that it gets spent for city residents only. Um they're they kind of ask of how much we expected to bring in. It's quite hard to

70
00:19:39.840 --> 00:19:56.400
say. Um obviously if it's a very very small amount like a let's say a thousand some dollars, it's probably not worth it to them to even mess with. um but you get to a $10,000 mark or whatever, that's something they can hold and they have the separate accounting that they would know it come back to the city uh

71
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:12.320
in some way. So, they had the ability to do that. Um we still got to put this policy in place. Um but uh there is a to do that. So, obviously we need to pick a theme. Um I know again overall theme is obviously

72
00:20:12.320 --> 00:20:28.000
first responders and and celebrating them. Um, but as far as the core and all that, this is still obviously um up in the air. So, we need to kind of solidify that and and I know we talked at previous meetings about maybe going

73
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:44.559
out and visiting company that has all their props or whatever to to take a look at. So, you know, if somebody wanted to to to do that, but the most important thing we have to do is obviously get the get the information out there, ticket sales and that. I I think we should try to set the the

74
00:20:44.559 --> 00:21:01.600
pricing and stuff tonight. Um I know we talked a little bit about that. I was I was thinking about 125 per ticket. Um and if you buy a table of eight, that'd be $900, which basically gives you 1250 off each ticket. So it's

75
00:21:01.600 --> 00:21:16.880
like 10% off if you buy a table of eight. And if you buy a table of 10, same thing. It's it's 10% off. Um, and there's 10 seats there. So, it' be uh 11:25. >> I was only going to do like the two of two of 10 like we did the last time

76
00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:33.520
cuz we only did two tables of 10 the last time. >> Yeah. Just depends on I mean that we only had a smaller part of the venue, but if we if we able to open the whole venue, I don't know how many they could do in there, but >> I know they have 10, right? >> What's that? >> Right. Sure. Yeah. Because if it comes down, we don't sell enough, we'd have to

77
00:21:33.520 --> 00:21:50.480
reduce the footprint. >> You said table of 10 is how much? >> Would be 11.25. 25. That's basically if you take the 125 times 10, take 10% off, it comes with it. >> Or you said 125 a ticket. >> Yes.

78
00:21:50.480 --> 00:22:06.720
>> Yeah. That I know you've done >> a lot with some of those events or whatever, paying or whatever. Does that sound about right from other events? >> Yeah. >> Okay. I think as it's growing I would keep it

79
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:23.760
low as the 100 125 and then as it grows go >> yeah the demand increase and you're selling out or whatever you can always bump it up >> and for charity so it goes with the cause I know >> keep it at 125 for now >> yeah our centennial was 100 I think

80
00:22:23.760 --> 00:22:40.159
>> um and again we didn't didn't get a whole lot participation I think we had about 100 I think attendance wise for that I think it was 110. Was it something? >> Do you want to do 100 and then 125 at the door or?

81
00:22:40.159 --> 00:22:56.480
>> Well, since it's for charity though, the mayor's ball just kind of was before was just funding itself and deferring costs. Obviously, since this is a charitable event, we want to make sure we're raising too. So, I think the food was around >> 68 a person roughly. >> Um, so we're only going to be getting

82
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:13.440
about 30 if we went to 100 whereas the other 25 is about 55 per ticket sale. You say 68 for food. >> It's about 68 a person. Yeah. >> That's what if you use like the higherend food steak >> and that appetizers included in that as

83
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:30.080
well. >> Yeah. Do you remember the price was for the the Chesco cornation? It was like 150, wasn't it? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Which that's getting pretty high. I don't know if they've been in the past, but >> they're getting very >> Yeah. So I think I think 125 is a pretty

84
00:23:30.080 --> 00:23:45.840
good price. Remember when I got two tables at the event and then I feel like it had a very large jump so went with one table and a half. >> We went to an event for Hope Shot and I want to say it was 125 a person.

85
00:23:45.840 --> 00:24:03.840
>> Yeah, that seems like >> good price to me. >> And there was no food involved. It was appetizers. That was it. There was me was 125. >> Oh wow. >> Yeah. >> That was for VIP though. If you didn't do VIP it was 100. >> Okay. So think that sound that pricing sound

86
00:24:03.840 --> 00:24:18.320
good to everybody? >> Yeah. >> Um so as far as collecting because this was this is a challenge from the city perspective. Um there there is a platform called Zephy

87
00:24:18.320 --> 00:24:35.200
and it does ticket sales now. Um I actually used it for my donations uh for the campaign. Um, but they do have a ticket sales option in there and I've seen other entities do that as well. Um, a nonprofit can set it up. You have to be a nonprofit in order to participate

88
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:50.320
in it, but they they give you the full value of the donation. There's no fees on top of it. The way they operate is at the end after you're done and you you're buying your ticket or you're making your donation is they s they give you a option to donate to their platform and I

89
00:24:50.320 --> 00:25:06.559
think they start at like 15% but you can drop it to zero. So, it's totally on the user to do whatever they want, but the full the full funds come into the the nonprofit and then they they drop the funds. You can do once a month or once a week. Um the weekly opposite vis every

90
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:22.559
Monday. I forget that maybe the monthly one is either on the 1st or 31st, but um what's that called? >> Z E FFY. So, I was going to check with S and Nancy to see if that's something that we

91
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:40.080
could set the city up to do that. Um, otherwise, we have to do what we did before and there um there'd be fees on top of it. So, by 125, it' be 3% isn't it? I think it's three and a half. >> Three and a half. >> I think it's three and a half. >> So, there's there's there's fees on top

92
00:25:40.080 --> 00:25:56.640
of that. Now obviously I think the city charge those up and above and beyond. The other option is we kind of build it in it would be it would uh >> uh be included in the price but you know

93
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:12.080
I hate having to do that with fees and stuff. So if we do this Zeffy option I think that's a little cleaner. Um, so I'll look into that to see how we can take the money in. Obviously, we're still moving forward on

94
00:26:12.080 --> 00:26:29.120
the the process that once that comes in is to get the charity, but it would come in obviously we would defay cost uh defay cost to the event, come out and whatever's left would be what we donate to the the nonprofit or the the charity event.

95
00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:46.320
Um, and we obviously I think we still do our baskets where people sign auction stuff like we did. >> Um, we do have I think I told you all this. Um, the dollhouse guy is making a dollhouse for that purpose that people can uh

96
00:26:46.320 --> 00:27:05.440
uh sign an auction for. I I I spoke to the painter that did the the trunk painting. We went to that and I mentioned that if he would want to do a painting for that too and he was interested in doing that. So we maybe get him to do a painting that we can put in there as well. So I think we got

97
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:22.520
options to to raise some money for for them to do those other things as well. >> Can you remind me about the 5050 rule with the it's considered right? We cannot do any 50/50 even if it's a nonprofit doing the 50/50. >> When did50

98
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:40.240
>> it's considered gambling, right? Yeah, >> I want to say that there is there is a way to do it possibly through nonprofits. >> It's complicated though. You have to like because I have to um >> Oh, yeah. For the same professional. >> Yeah. And you have to um there's certain

99
00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:58.000
I think $600 or more or something. You have to declare to the IRS. You have to fill out forms. It >> I think it could take if you don't know how to do it correctly, I think get a little risky. Um, so I >> So the person that wins is gonna have to

100
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:15.679
pay taxes on the winning is basically what you're saying. >> I don't It was something about we had to declare certain things and there's things that you have to do parameters and when you're selling it, what you have to say and >> to administer it. There's you have to >> in the sense of you keeping up with it.

101
00:28:15.679 --> 00:28:31.440
I don't I don't think that's a risk we want. It's not that easy just doing 50/50 and >> no >> giving you 50 and keeping 50. It's you gota >> it's gambling. That's what they say it is >> in Florida. >> Now I think

102
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:47.120
>> a race stadium does it. >> They are different. >> Yeah. I don't know how they do that's interesting. They do that. It's true. Um >> go rain. >> Lots of people do it. They do it to Bowen every week too but technically not supposed to. at every nonprofit event

103
00:28:47.120 --> 00:29:03.200
that you go to. >> So >> that'll be as legal, >> right? >> Maybe we just need to look more >> if you can find out for next meeting and see exactly how we can do it. >> Yeah, I know Nancy has opined on it.

104
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:19.360
>> Yeah, she know squashed it. >> Yeah. >> Well, it sounds like if it's more than 600, then you have to report it and declare it as income and >> straight up on the money. But yeah, >> you can take straight up donations all day long. Um, but when you start, it

105
00:29:19.360 --> 00:29:34.399
becomes like, like I said, it's a game. >> When it's a raffle, it's something different. >> You're putting your money in and other people putting money in and you're winning that. >> It's no different than those arcades. >> Yeah. No different than the like. >> Yeah.

106
00:29:34.399 --> 00:29:52.480
>> That we shut out of the city. >> I know. >> So, you know, we honestly silent auction. that's that's not a problem. Um, we can also have a way to make donations directly to that. Obviously, whatever's cost left over that we from putting on the event that gets donated.

107
00:29:52.480 --> 00:30:08.240
So, the the end game is all the money we bring in extra for that specific event through sponsorships and whatever goes to the charity. >> So, are you doing silent auctions where you put an amount or are you doing the tickets where you have the baskets and you're putting

108
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:23.919
>> Yeah, baskets are donated. We solicit donations for people and then people put their bid on it. >> But I feel like you did the raffle as well in previous >> both or just one >> we did is we we sold tickets

109
00:30:23.919 --> 00:30:39.440
>> and they dropped the tickets in which one they wanted. >> Yeah, we didn't. That's right. We didn't do individual sales. >> No, you didn't do an auction. No, >> amount. Yeah, we did with the ticket sales and you dropped tickets in >> and then we did the

110
00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:57.200
>> we did the sales for the bottle which was supper too. >> Oh yeah, we did >> for the bottle. Yeah, >> the rum. >> Um so, you know, the the raffle style pretty straightforward. Um, then the

111
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:13.039
idea is instead of people jacking the price up on different things or whatever, they buy more tickets, put more tickets in there. >> I wonder if that's more effective than actually having the sheet where you write down the price. You probably would, depending on what the >> There's multiple, but if you're going to do I don't know the whole dollhouse

112
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:29.919
situation, but the painting, I would still think you should have someone to be assigning auction. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I I think you could probably do a hybrid where some certain things that drive a big price, you would do those separately and you could have individual baskets with, you know, different things

113
00:31:29.919 --> 00:31:46.159
or whatever with it. You do the ticket style >> and then the painting and the higher end, >> right? Paint dollar house and anything else we would have of significant value. You actually do a more of a >> or even live like and and we may do that with a dollar house and take bids on it

114
00:31:46.159 --> 00:32:04.240
just right there. And I we can work those details out later, but I we're going to have some some revenue generating item there, the auctions, baskets, what have you. Um

115
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:26.320
to do um while we're on this, >> do we need a motion on those ticket price or >> Oh, we probably should do that. Yeah. by unless there's anything do by consensus. Is there any objection to those ticket prices? Everybody go with those? No. >> Okay, we're good. Um

116
00:32:26.320 --> 00:32:40.640
>> um when will we have flyers and save the dates because we really should have had save the dates six months prior to the event? >> As soon as you get them done. >> Where where's your >> So hopefully tonight as we solidify that those can start being generated and get

117
00:32:40.640 --> 00:33:00.399
out. Um, obviously we want to put ticket price prices on there. Um, the date. Um, probably the theme as well. >> Yeah, we I mean to do save the dates and stuff, color scheme, things like that.

118
00:33:00.399 --> 00:33:17.480
>> I really like >> Sorry. I really liked one of your ideas last time where you did the hats in the middle of the table or the boots. I thought that was really Troy. Yeah. >> Um

119
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:36.240
I have an idea, but I don't know how it would be too overwhelming. So >> was there for the theme? >> Yeah. >> Okay. I don't know if it would be too rough on

120
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:51.600
like too much, but like if you go down the hall like the tunnel, but then you have the Twin Towers and you have like a New York skyline that goes into the room. So, I don't know.

121
00:33:51.600 --> 00:34:08.480
>> Well, the tunnel to the towers. >> Yeah. You remember the mayor's ball where we had those >> brick things we go through? >> Did you guys see anything like cityscape? >> I'm sure they probably have. She knows everything >> because if we could recreate because that was a really great entryway

122
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:24.720
>> and if we could recreate that with like I said like the New York skyline city instead of the just the walls or whatever that would be >> and you know even at the ends like the >> right >> the Empire State Building of Liberty. Yeah. Just kind of implement the whole

123
00:34:24.720 --> 00:34:39.599
>> New York. >> Yeah. >> They normally have like a lady there handing out that champagne or whatever. Mhm. >> Uh you could have one dressed as a Statue of Liberty to hand out >> cider >> something or whatever. Or a picture with >> the picture people.

124
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:55.200
>> We could have Well, yeah. The picture. >> What do we do? We had the two flapper ladies, I guess. >> Yeah. At the entrance that took photos. That was nice. >> I mean, we could do this the New York skyline right there at the entrance and do the pictures right there. >> So, what's our theme?

125
00:34:55.200 --> 00:35:12.000
>> Because we don't want to be like New York and then other What's our theme? Well, like tunnel towers, like you have your tunnel to the towers of New York and then you have all of New York. Like you when you get to the end, you have And are we sure that's the charity that we're having? >> If I mean, if you guys are good with it.

126
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:28.000
>> No. Oh, yeah. We're I think we're all good with it. I'm saying it'll be >> that's the charity that we are able like >> I don't want to do like New York and then all of a sudden they say no, we can't. >> Well, so on the So in conversation with Nancy, there was a

127
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:43.920
um what what would normally happen, the best way to happen is say, "Hey, we're going to have the mayor's ball and we're going to benefit some charity and we want it to we want it to benefit um children's charities in general." >> Okay.

128
00:35:43.920 --> 00:36:00.800
>> Okay. So we would we would put that out there and you know cozair might reach out to us and whatever and we they would all um make their pitch of why they would like to and the council would select >> which we use

129
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:16.480
>> and you could put first responders right >> general. So even if the city of Port Ridgie first responders received it to do something with the kids or gear or decon or whatever. >> That's right. If it if it was general, we would first responders, you take

130
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:32.000
different first responder charities like fireman's, auxiliary, different things, and they would all put in. We would select one to benefit. We So, I told Nancy, I said, "Well, you know, especially for this one where we've kind of already decided we want the we want the village to be

131
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:48.320
able to just select that without going to a public process to have all these come in." Um, and she said that's should be fine, too. And so, that's going to be in part of the policy. we to select. >> But you did choose, >> we chose 911. We chose September 11. So

132
00:36:48.320 --> 00:37:04.400
even if it didn't go to Tunnel for Towers, >> it is 25 years since the event >> and the tragedy. So even if it wasn't Tunnel to Towers,

133
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:21.520
that theme would still be respected. The only caveat is is whoever is selected has to has to account for that money and can be audited. It shows it goes back to residents of the city. That's so you couldn't have like coair

134
00:37:21.520 --> 00:37:37.680
come in here for example and they they just going to distribute. They have to actually help kids inside city limits >> or even if you do a 250th birthday celebration theme like incorporate the Liberty B. I don't know. Just that's what I'm saying. Is it New York

135
00:37:37.680 --> 00:37:54.560
>> or are we doing um like everywhere? We could have I mean we could have New York. I love it. I mean I think that's very nice. >> We could also have >> and yeah that I mean that is >> I think that would be good like if we did an October theme or a July theme or

136
00:37:54.560 --> 00:38:11.200
something then gear more towards 250. But because you chose the date 911 I think we should be remembering of 911. I think it should be based on New York and it should be based on >> Yeah. >> I agree. I mean I think What do you guys think? Otherwise, we should have done it

137
00:38:11.200 --> 00:38:26.320
on 911. >> Yeah. No, it's that's that's always been kind of the the goal. Again, going forward, what we do, we may we may solicit that and just see what we get and based on that. But I think for this one, we kind of >> Yeah, we we New York theme it. Um, and

138
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:44.000
again, not this solely New York. It be a big aspect of it, but first responders in general, you should fire, police, um, military, >> you know, I think we we just add all those aspects in there. >> First, >> I think we encourage people to wear

139
00:38:44.000 --> 00:39:01.680
their uniforms if they're >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. First responders. Yeah. >> And then New York. I like that idea though because we could New York you can work around with that and then build on that one.

140
00:39:01.680 --> 00:39:18.400
>> You could build Broadway into it if you really wanted to but because it's 911 I really it should be based around >> that were lost that day. >> I'm from New York. >> I know. Yeah. >> Been here since 88.

141
00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:35.880
>> Yeah. I like that for sure. Like I said, the whole tunnel towers thing, the hope is is that it'd be well attended and I think that's some that's something that people get behind, right? >> Towers. >> Yeah.

142
00:39:37.839 --> 00:39:54.560
>> Any thoughts on theme? I think with that theme you there's lots of ways you can decorate to that. >> But I do like the I I can't say I've been to an event over there where they they had it as nice as ours where you walk through they had the

143
00:39:54.560 --> 00:40:11.160
the walls and the barrels and I just really cool and so if we could kind of redo that again with with buildings and stuff that'd be awesome. And even inside the the main room skyline lights and whatnot. Yeah.

144
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:28.000
>> Yeah. It >> Are we all in agreement? >> Is there consensus on that? Any objections to >> So it's first responder New York City. >> That's our foundation. >> First responders New York City 911.

145
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:47.040
Yeah, >> I think the the table decorations or whatever it's a hat or boot or whatever like that. >> Well, if we're doing New York too, we could do big apple stuff. I mean, there's a lot of stuff we can do. >> Even from the from the dessert

146
00:40:47.040 --> 00:41:04.160
aspect like in my mind like can >> I'm thinking like dessert >> something to that extent. You can have little pizza squares for appetiz. >> I didn't go there. >> But yes.

147
00:41:04.160 --> 00:41:19.520
>> Yeah. No, I mean there's a lot I mean there's a lot that you can do. >> So I think on the the marketing material, flyers, tickets or whatever. Um something along the the towers line with >> and we could put benefits

148
00:41:19.520 --> 00:41:39.560
to uh tunnel to towers. You mean the lane portable? >> Oh, yeah. That's why I kept reading this forgot about that. >> Wait, what? >> I have some names.

149
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:54.560
>> Go ahead. >> American the Brave. America Brave. >> A Night Under the Stars. What would are those the ideas? America Brave. >> This one at Laura. >> America. >> Put together. >> That one's good. The night under the

150
00:41:54.560 --> 00:42:17.119
stars legacy of the heroes. >> That's nice. >> So are you do we want to have some >> what about >> name and then because I mean honoring first responders needs to be at least

151
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:32.960
subtext on that, right? Um, >> can the bra >> think it should be something close like I would like that for like 250th

152
00:42:32.960 --> 00:42:48.400
celebration. >> A night under the stars is more elegant and then you would be crossing over like the other >> what I think. I'm I'm thinking I'm trying to cuz I was like I was thinking

153
00:42:48.400 --> 00:43:11.720
like New York State of Mind like all I was like thinking songs in my head. >> Um >> I like the N. >> See this is when AI really can >> let it do its work.

154
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:28.240
>> A night to remember. I think that maybe you stop. There's one says >> I do like the remember aspect of if we could be crafty with that >> to think of something but remember under the stars they can have beneath the skyline a night for our heroes

155
00:43:28.240 --> 00:43:45.040
different like the star they have tower to tower the mayor's gallow for heroes a night of gratitude benefiting tunnel to towers the skyline and sirens mayor ball remember the stars remember the heroes remember

156
00:43:45.040 --> 00:44:15.359
and finest the mayor's Charity Ball, the Beacon of Hope, Gala, Resilience, and Runway, an evening for well, they put New York City Harbor likes because it's Harbor. Here's what Here's a few things. The chat came back, so I ask it. Um, give me

157
00:44:15.359 --> 00:44:29.760
a name for this year's mayor's ball. Honoring first responders and benefiting Tunnel Towers or says the mayor's ball in evening of honor. Heroes among us. The mayor's ball. The mayor's ball. The mayor's first responders ball. Answering the call. The mayor's ball. The mayor's

158
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:45.680
ball. Honoring those who serve. Shield and shield and shield. Gayla. Honoring those who protect our communities and our nation. Guardians of freedom. Mayor's ball. The courage and commitment ball. The mayor's ball. A salute to our heroes. Uh, standing for heroes, the mayoring

159
00:44:45.680 --> 00:45:01.200
our heroes, >> the guardian of freedom is cute. >> And of course, it's got to tell me its favorite. The mayor's ball answering the call, honoring our first responders benefiting tunnels to Tower Foundation. It has a strong connection to police, fire, EMS, and dispatch while also

160
00:45:01.200 --> 00:45:16.720
reflecting the mission of Tunnel Towers. >> Which one was that? >> It says the mayor's ball colon answering the call. That's what it liked. And then it says uh the Port Richie the Port Richie mayor's ball a salute to our

161
00:45:16.720 --> 00:45:35.440
heroes. There's another one. It feels timeless and could become an annual signature event. Of course, we're going to change change the benefit every year. There was one I kind of liked in there. >> An evening in the Empire State.

162
00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:54.800
>> Wait. Yeah. An evening in the Empire State honoring our first responders. Like you said, >> the footsteps of heroes gala never forget mayor's fall. The big apple benefit for heroes like

163
00:45:54.800 --> 00:46:10.079
you were saying from the ground up. >> Did you like the honoring those who serve? >> Remembering and honoring those who serve? >> You do. You do the mayor's ball. remembering and honoring those who

00:55:51.920 --> 00:56:06.160
>> continue to do every day. >> At least that's kind of the the goal we're looking for. And that and that organization, Tunnel Towers, obviously they don't they're not doing things posthumously for folks that they probably are, but they're building homes for first responders and

194
00:56:06.160 --> 00:56:36.960
>> and that that uh so it's it was born out of that tragedy, >> but it was just isolated to those in that tragedy. >> Empire still in mind. I like the first one. >> Yeah, our heroes is good. >> You like that one?

01:09:57.760 --> 01:10:14.000
>> Well, eight tables 900 bucks. >> Yeah. >> Sorry. >> You said a $500 sponsor two tickets. >> So if you 10,000 sponsors at top the big apple will say >> that would be a 10. They get a table 10 included in their sponsorship. >> You get 10, right?

246
01:11:05.120 --> 01:11:25.840
but they're given extra on top of so two tickets will be 250. >> So if they you know >> and you get a program almost you could almost if you need to go 500 you could two tickets to 50

247
01:11:25.840 --> 01:11:41.600

248
01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:56.880
>> well you don't have to acknowledge all that right So, I think you need to make it so it's it's really a sponsorship. So, >> catches can write off $500 advertising sponsorship and they get two tickets to the event, >> right? I agree with that. That's

249
01:11:56.880 --> 01:12:13.360
basically double the ticket price and your sponsor. >> 500 in the little booklet, right? >> Yes. Yeah. >> It doesn't matter how many we get. >> Yeah. I think that's nice. >> Yeah. >> It just list them all the program. >> No, they they do their own Yeah, they do their own ad. >> You give them a business card ad. Oh,

250
01:12:13.360 --> 01:12:29.280
you're talking about in a in a book >> that everybody gets >> small. Everybody get if you're 500, you get a little small ad space, whatever size or something. >> Yeah. >> Do a half page ad books only. It's big. So half page.

251
01:12:29.280 --> 01:12:45.120
>> I like that idea. >> You can have as many as you want. >> Yes. And it gets them to bring in >> this. Yeah. >> Or you do a 250 for one ticket and a quarter page ad. I like that because sometimes it's reasonable like that

252
01:12:45.120 --> 01:13:06.320
>> because not everybody has a significant >> or they just sent one representative. >> Okay, here's a sponsorship pack for boom on the bayou. >> We had let's see one two three four five tiers. The big boom was 10,000. The Patriot 5,000. Stars and stripes 2500.

253
01:13:06.320 --> 01:13:22.000
Betsy Ross business booster 500. Sparkler sponsor 250. We could probably keep those >> same. And I'll just rename them. >> Can you say that one more time? >> So you had the the Big Boom presenting sponsor was 10 grand. >> Okay. >> The Patriot was 5,000.

254
01:13:22.000 --> 01:13:36.640
>> Stars and Stripe was 2500. Betsy Ross business booster was 500 and a sparkler sponsor 250. >> And we don't have a limit, right? >> No. I mean, you have several. The presenting sponsor is normally

255
01:13:36.640 --> 01:13:53.520
>> that's it. limit to to one, but um I don't think we would necessarily have to unless it was >> you'd have table sponsors for 2500 or um 1,500 or 2,000. What do you mean by that? Like a table sponsor, they sponsor

256
01:13:53.520 --> 01:14:09.040
a table. So, it gets them to bring people to the event. >> Well, if you buy a table, it's in a sense you're you put your name on the table. >> Yes. So say 1,500 and you get a table of eight which is 900 and then you can do a

257
01:14:09.040 --> 01:14:26.239
full page ad or half page ads are cheap. >> So people say you would sell you can sell tables at the 900 for eight or you can be a table sponsor for 1500. >> Yes. And then you get the ad and the publicity and the website and everything else like that. >> Instead of just buying the table you're

258
01:14:26.239 --> 01:14:42.000
buying the table extra in you get some ads. >> Yes. add your sponsorship because what I've learned is you want to get groups and if you can sell tables to rotaries and different organizations then they'll bring people >> and they get the advertisement.

259
01:14:42.000 --> 01:15:11.040
>> That makes sense. >> You say 1500 or whatever. >> Yes. 1500. So >> they would pay 600 for their advertisement. thousand and they pay the which is the 900 and then they just get a little

260
01:15:11.040 --> 01:15:28.000
stand but they don't get any extra >> or they just a name at the end of the >> Yeah, if you buy a table just a table cost you're saving a little bit on your tickets but you're not in you're not in the program which you're a table sponsor you're getting the table you're paying extra and you're getting in the program >> but say for $1,000

261
01:15:28.000 --> 01:15:43.600
You get the table of eight for 900 and then you just get a little stand with your name on it and then just your name. >> You don't get all the extra. >> Well, I think I think if you buy a table, you can have your name on table. That's just part of >> the 900 like reserve for Peter Piper, whatever.

262
01:15:43.600 --> 01:16:00.560
>> Put your thing on there. >> I do like that. I know other places don't, but I'm just saying because when I purchased the table in at the last fall that we went to, it was so much. It was almost $1,000 extra to have your name on the table.

263
01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:16.080
>> So, they charge you just to put your name on the table. >> Oh, >> really? >> That's why I ended up just purchasing extra tickets and then bringing more people and not being a I wasn't technically a table sponsor even though I had two tables, >> right? >> Oh, but that's I think we we can I mean 900 and you put your name on the table.

264
01:16:16.080 --> 01:16:31.520
>> Yeah. If you buy a table if you buy table, you have a little thing in the middle says this is this is Caroline's table. >> Yeah. Like a bigger Yeah. Little thing. Yeah. And if you say it was $1,000, >> well, I think that's you table sponsor. I think we do the 1500

265
01:16:31.520 --> 01:16:48.960
>> and you actually get the table your name on table and you'll be recognized in the program >> as a table sponsor >> and you get a full page. >> Yeah. >> Table sponsor. >> Who's going to do that? >> When we put the book together or whatever, we'll have to have to

266
01:16:48.960 --> 01:17:04.480
>> who's we all >> table sponsor. You've already got that. >> Yeah, >> we just got to >> that one. >> Yeah. So me >> no. >> It's in canvas, is it? >> That's sharable, right?

267
01:17:04.480 --> 01:17:20.880
>> Now you have tables of eight and tables of 10. So tables of 10 is 1500. >> Well, so table So there's very limited tables of 10 if I remember right. >> Yes, they only have four or something. >> Four, I think. Yes. >> Oh, they only have four tables of 10. >> And so obviously the the presenting

268
01:17:20.880 --> 01:17:36.719
sponsor would have a table of 10. Mhm. >> So, let's just keep it 1500 table of eight, right? >> Yeah. I think the all the the table sponsors and all that are based on eight >> one full page ad and what was it? 1500 table sponsors,

269
01:17:36.719 --> 01:17:52.000
eight tickets, one full page ad. >> Oh, so the table sponsor shouldn't be a full page ad, I don't think. >> No. What did you say that, Christina, or did you say that? >> We acknowledge >> We don't want that big of a program. It's a little book.

270
01:17:52.000 --> 01:18:09.120
>> So, they're paying an extra $600. >> We recognized everybody in the in the program the last >> they were all listed on the back. I think >> they were on the on the second page. >> I'm sorry. >> No, but I like the table.

271
01:18:09.120 --> 01:18:25.199
>> Council council was on the back and the >> G I mean, >> yes. I think if they're going to sponsor >> Yeah, we were on the on the back. >> Okay. Okay. So, if you were selling just ads, how much would you sell a a full page ad for? You want to sell that for 600?

272
01:18:25.199 --> 01:18:41.679
>> I don't know. >> I'm just thinking, how big how big of a book do you want? >> That's why I think the book is nominal. >> Well, how many tables is there? I 400 some people with capacity, right? >> 450 is a capacity. >> That's capacity >> or 425, I'm sorry.

273
01:18:41.679 --> 01:19:02.239
>> Let's do some quick math. >> So, if you have 425 table >> people and you divide that. >> Let's see. >> 53 tables. >> 53 table. >> So it's technically it's just round to 50

274
01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:18.640
>> $79,000. >> That'd be a 50 page booklet. >> So >> if everybody Well, I mean, >> but that means you're filling up the location. >> We won't be I don't think we'll be able to get so many tables stuff like Well, so here's here's my hear me out on this. From an advertising perspective, I'm not

275
01:19:18.640 --> 01:19:35.040
going to look through 50 pages. >> Okay? >> So, if I look through >> five, six pages, I'm going to see all those. And like I said, depending on the amount, if it's a table sponsor, maybe you do four on a page or something or whatever comes out to, you're still going to see them all, but people are

276
01:19:35.040 --> 01:19:49.760
not going to flip through that whole thing. >> I would just buy $900 worth of one table for 900. Then I would >> No, you put your name on the table. That's fine. So people would be able to because if you think about it, if it's remembering our or honoring our heroes, people can actually do like dedications

277
01:19:49.760 --> 01:20:06.640
to their family and it doesn't have to be business. Yeah. It can be something of like, oh, my family member is a veteran. I could put a photo. That's something they can keep for a long time. So even if it's 20 pages, >> not everyone looks at it. Yeah. >> Have it as a memor.

278
01:20:06.640 --> 01:20:22.880
And >> well, what are we gonna >> You're also going to put table sponsors. Thank you so and so for your table sponsor on the Facebook page. >> So, so I was thinking and maybe >> we should have a Facebook page. >> Well, maybe I'm thinking about it differently, but if we're going to if we're going to sell ad space by itself

279
01:20:22.880 --> 01:20:39.679
in a box, right? >> You don't have to buy a ticket. You can just be a sponsor and be in there, that's one thing. But if you're just if you're just creating a a program book that has the you know who's speaking and kind of order the what ceremony whatever happens and then attached to that you

280
01:20:39.679 --> 01:20:57.440
recognize your sponsors rather table sponsors or whatever that doesn't need to be as >> the ad though they can by like a $100 will get you like a business card admit. >> Yeah. I know a table sponsor when the other event

281
01:20:57.440 --> 01:21:13.199
>> they used to do full page ads and I thought it was kind of ridiculous that a table sponsor got half a page ad for the amount that they were charging. >> Well, how about if we just do $1,000? Well, no, because it's $100 just >> I mean the book is going to cost money

282
01:21:13.199 --> 01:21:28.400
too the bigger it gets. >> Right. Exactly. >> Like I mean >> I I want to say 125 time 8 is $1,000. So just instead of giving a discount just say table sponsor for $1,000. >> The book was five pages the last time.

283
01:21:28.400 --> 01:21:44.719
>> Book was how many pages? >> It was five pages. Hang on. I'll tell you how much it was. Yes. >> It had that again. Sorry. >> It was five pages and it had the first page was obviously welcomed. The second page was the itinerary. The third page was thank you to the sponsors. The

284
01:21:44.719 --> 01:22:01.440
fourth page was all of those city boards and committee members. That was because it was a centennial. So we recognize them all. And then the last page was council and the centennial committee. >> So you didn't do >> printed it. >> Discount printing. >> When you say page, you're talking about

285
01:22:01.440 --> 01:22:17.679
sides, right? You're talking about five individual. >> Oh, no. It was the book. It was the It was that booklet. >> It was a booklet. >> I thought it was just a folded page. >> No, it was a booklet. It was a little booklet. >> Do we have one here? >> We probably do. >> Yeah. See if we have one in the office

286
01:22:17.679 --> 01:22:36.320
or something. So instead of discounting a table of eight for 900, why don't you just charge the thousand and then give them the the ad or the table sponsor >> the keep it a th000 but just add the the centerpiece with the name on it.

287
01:22:36.320 --> 01:22:51.440
>> Well, >> and add a thousand. >> You could do that >> discounted. Well, my thought was is if you're buying eight tickets, you're getting a little bit off of them because you're buying a whole table. It encouraged you to bring your family. Not outside of the advertising realm. I

288
01:22:51.440 --> 01:23:05.600
think the advertising realm is a whole another realm, right? You if you want to be in the in the program as it has some advertising, you would pay 1,500 was a decent figure.

289
01:23:05.600 --> 01:23:22.400
>> Buy a table of eight for 800 and then they do. >> But you don't get nothing for that but the table >> for the 900. >> You don't get anything. Sorry. How about $1,000 for the table? >> Yeah, you get you get dinner and your your seat. >> But you said you get your name in the middle.

290
01:23:22.400 --> 01:23:38.880
>> Well, just to identify it's your table. That's not advertising. That just tells you who you are. >> That would be like for your family. But a business >> to me that's a business. >> If you buy a whole table, you put your name on it. I don't care. It's free. >> I think it'd be I like the idea, Christina, that the centerpiece would

291
01:23:38.880 --> 01:23:54.800
have the name of the person. Let's say, you know, Mayor Hoover and then people are Mayor Hoover of Port Richie, you know, and then they'll be like, "Oh, that Oh, let me see. Hold on. Who's that?" Or >> Yeah, I think that's being just included, right? >> For 900. >> You're buying a whole table just putting

292
01:23:54.800 --> 01:24:11.199
your name on >> you get $100 off. >> Well, she was saying for if you charge 1,500 for the table, then they get their name in the book. They're actually a sponsor. If you buy a table, you're not sponsored, but you >> I mean it's >> So $900

293
01:24:11.199 --> 01:24:27.280
for a table of eight. >> Yeah. That's you're basically getting 10% off. >> If you want to put your name on it, you put your name on it. >> Like say you as let's say as uh Caroline Enterprises, you want to buy a table eight for your company. You don't want to advertise. You just want to take

294
01:24:27.280 --> 01:24:43.840
eight people just to support the event, right? So you just do >> you put >> No, she wants to take buy the table for a right on her business. >> She still do that. Doesn't matter if your name's on it or not. You buy a table. It's right. >> Yeah. >> So if she doesn't care about being a sponsor, >> it's a meal and entertainment compared

295
01:24:43.840 --> 01:24:58.480
to an advertising expense. You want that full 100% of an advertising expense, not 100 uh not 50% cut back for meals and entertainment. >> I like Christina's idea that maybe if we put you $900 a table of eight, right?

296
01:24:58.480 --> 01:25:14.560
and then just your name like oh this is my name you know >> but if you do a thousand you get a bigger thing in your like the centerpiece or something with your name like Mayor Hoover's table

297
01:25:14.560 --> 01:25:31.040
>> some you know the extra $100 or >> you get like >> you get a special table >> you can do that >> and just more to administer I was just I was thinking >> oh we could even do like a I was even not a troph something like >> because somebody's got to put those

298
01:25:31.040 --> 01:25:46.000
things together, right? >> Yeah. Well, we have the >> Well, it's a little stand you guys usually just put a clear little thing with the Yeah. Just put paper in there with the name. Thank you. Thank you to our sponsor blah blah. >> Yeah. If I'm saying it wouldn't be a

299
01:25:46.000 --> 01:26:02.320
sponsor. It would or would not be >> Now if they bought a table, >> it' just be >> So $1,000 would be eight tickets and a table sponsor centerpiece is what you said. >> I think your table sponsor, you're in the program and I think you pay a little

300
01:26:02.320 --> 01:26:19.920
bit more for that. I like the 1500 idea. >> Maybe we get you're getting $600 in addition and that's your advertising and that goes in a book a full page ad or something. Well, we figure out size. I'm just saying if you don't want to find one,

301
01:26:19.920 --> 01:26:35.679
>> they're in the vault. Got to get it tomorrow. >> All the centennial stuff. >> How do we do five pages? Cuz it was >> Yeah. >> It wasn't stapled or anything. >> Yeah, it was. >> Yeah, it was. >> It was. >> Yes. >> Do you remember that, Amanda?

302
01:26:35.679 --> 01:26:51.080
>> Yeah. >> I don't I don't know why I don't remember that. >> Did you not read the book? >> I did. And I thought I had And then I had it >> I even had one with me in the thing to >> and I and I had the we had the PowerPoint running and I put it on the PowerPoint too.

303
01:26:52.880 --> 01:27:06.960
>> Power. >> It had to be >> It couldn't be five pages. It was a blank one. >> A PowerPoint too >> cuz it was a half of a sheet, right? Yeah. Size >> small. It was like they were folded. So it was like this big. Yeah. >> So you you'd have four or six.

304
01:27:06.960 --> 01:27:25.120
>> You couldn't have five. Why don't we just table that and bring it for the next meeting? >> Yes. Sam will get it out tomorrow. He said >> and then we can figure out exactly how much. Let's get ideas. >> It was like one.

305
01:27:25.120 --> 01:27:40.400
Yeah, >> we could do we can next meeting we can go over the book and then see exactly what we want >> and that's it because we also have >> has that has to be >> well let's let's we can how the book

306
01:27:40.400 --> 01:27:57.280
gets laid out is >> is irrelevant to the sponsorship so I think we're presenting sponsor 10 grants everybody agree with that you get a table of 10u okay >> and you can look at um we didn't have a centennial mayor's ball sponsor, but we had that built into the

307
01:27:57.280 --> 01:28:14.239
sponsorship. I think what was our highest one for that? 25,000. >> Say that again. >> I think we >> Okay. >> So, it it was 25,000. I got a table, but I we're going to do 10 here >> with a table because they got other

308
01:28:14.239 --> 01:28:29.679
stuff for that >> banners and all kinds of stuff. >> They had a booth at every event if they wanted one. >> Um, this is just one event. 10. >> So 10, you get a table and then obviously the same, you know, recognition on the city website,

309
01:28:29.679 --> 01:28:44.960
whatever you want to put in there. Some of that stuff probably the same. Then you go to 5,000 and >> so we're not doing 7500 then. >> No. Okay. Um, >> that's fine.

310
01:28:44.960 --> 01:29:05.840
>> Well, it's 10 five 20 this just by 10 25 and 250. If you if you was to do a 7500 in there, you'd probably take off the lower sponsor. >> I like 7500. >> I mean, 250 is two tickets. So maybe maybe that's maybe you do do that. Maybe

311
01:29:05.840 --> 01:29:22.159
you take off the 250. >> Okay. And add 7500. >> If you did a 250 would be like one ticket and a quarter page ad, but then five times it would be two tickets and a half page ad. >> Yeah. >> Huh? >> Even give anybody tickets with the 250. >> What's my saying? just take that one off and I make it the sponsor level would

312
01:29:22.159 --> 01:29:38.719
have to be >> the reason I say 250 for the one ticket is you get a ticket and a quarter page ad but 500 would be two tickets and a half page ad >> I don't think we should be getting involved with these ads I think that's I I

313
01:29:38.719 --> 01:29:53.920
>> I like the idea though I really do >> I'm only saying that from a business perspective you can write it off on your taxes as an advertising expense >> well for us it's more money to come in for charity Well, can't you really can't you write it off? I don't know for

314
01:29:53.920 --> 01:30:11.360
sure, but it's a it's a charitable event >> that you're going to 50% cut back. >> So, for the 125, you get 50% off >> of your taxes. >> So, are we doing 1075? What are we doing? >> So, would you buy a ticket for 125?

315
01:30:11.360 --> 01:30:26.400
>> Can't you write a whole 125 off? >> You should be. >> No, it should be a meal and entertainment. >> Sure. I mean, >> I don't know how they how that works with >> networking. Do it. You just say one word of business and that's it. >> Yes. And it's 50% off

316
01:30:26.400 --> 01:30:42.880
>> on your taxes. You don't get the full amount. If you go to dinner and you have a dinner with two people or 10 people, it is a 50% cut back. You can't write off the dollar. >> Well, you're talking about two different things. That's dinner. Again, I'm not a tax account, but it's dinner. This is a

317
01:30:42.880 --> 01:30:58.080
this is a donation >> that you're getting you're attending the event. >> Donations flow through to your personal return if you're an 1120s an escort. >> Well, how does being a I mean, you're still going to be limited

318
01:30:58.080 --> 01:31:22.320
>> a sponsorship is an advertisement, >> right? But if you're getting those benefits from it, too, the dinner and ticket price and all that, then that play into that deduction. I mean, that >> I don't know. No comment. >> And the air just kicked on.

319
01:31:22.320 --> 01:31:37.440
>> Yeah, it did. The air just >> Is that why Rotary does the single tickets with the business card? >> So, >> 10,000. >> Yeah. So, 10 10 75

320
01:31:37.440 --> 01:31:52.880
25. Do we do a thousand instead of 500? >> Yeah, thousand. Well, actually, if we're going to do a table sponsor, which I like at the 1500 range, I think we >> build that in there.

321
01:31:52.880 --> 01:32:08.400
>> So,,500 is table sponsor. >> And maybe we don't do maybe we don't do 7500. Maybe we do some more filler. So if we go 10 then five >> 25

322
01:32:08.400 --> 01:32:27.760
>> and then 15 for a table sponsor >> and then a,000 or 500 >> and 500 >> and 500 >> 500. >> Okay. So no eight tickets table sponsor with centerpiece for a thousand. >> Say again.

323
01:32:27.760 --> 01:32:45.520
>> Uh not a,000 for eight tickets with the center centerpiece. >> No, you can buy a table and not be a sponsor. A table's 900. Table 10 is is uh 1125. >> So you're still going to put the centerpiece in the middle.

324
01:32:45.520 --> 01:33:01.280
>> If you don't put your name on it. Yeah. If you buy a table, get your name on. >> Okay. So table sponsor is 900. Did you said? >> No. >> 1,500. >> 1,500. >> Okay. And then you said you can also buy a table for 900. >> You buy a table. Just buy a table 900. You're not sponsored. >> You just you're basically getting because you're buying eight tickets,

325
01:33:01.280 --> 01:33:16.800
you're getting a discount. >> Getting 10% off. >> You're getting 10% off. That's all it is. >> And we'll just say reserve. >> If you buy eight tickets, you get 10% off. They're not 125. They're $11250. >> But you get your name in the middle of the table. >> If you put your name on the table, you put your name. It's your table. >> Yes.

326
01:33:16.800 --> 01:33:34.320
>> Be a sponsorship. That should be an If you want a table sponsor, you're going to pay 1,500 because then you're going to be recognized as a sponsor and you're given $600 on top of the >> Yeah. >> discounted table price. Actually, you're giving you're g because the full price of the ticket is $1,000 for the table,

327
01:33:34.320 --> 01:33:52.560
right? >> Yes.$10 off if you buy a table. Okay. So, if you're a table sponsor, you're kicking in additional $500 and you're getting recognized and you're in the program. Yes. >> But if you just buy a table, it's only

328
01:33:52.560 --> 01:34:09.600
900. >> Which means you're basically sponsorship. You're getting $600 in. >> So we have 10 5 2500,500 and 500. >> And then we'll figure out or you're

329
01:34:09.600 --> 01:34:25.679
you're going to give us you'll just change it, right? and then we'll >> so >> talk about that next time. >> Empire table sponsor for 1500 and then an Apple table sponsor for nine. >> Kim will do the name. >> Well, I I picked her name.

330
01:34:25.679 --> 01:34:45.520
>> Why? >> Why do you have to have a If you just buy a table, why do you have to be a sponsor? I don't understand your rationale. What's What's the point of that? >> Can't 500 bucks and if you It's not about write offs here. Oh, I'm trying to I'm trying to get people to bring their

331
01:34:45.520 --> 01:35:01.920
family, buy a table for their family and they can save a little bit. Okay. Not not to not to help them on their taxes. Now, there's a business aspect of it, too. If you want to do that, you do the 1500 table sponsor. >> So, 1,500 table sponsor, 900 is you

332
01:35:01.920 --> 01:35:17.840
buying a table. >> Okay? >> And that's not even in the sponsorship packet. That's just >> that's just we're buying discount. 1125 for a table of 10. Right. >> Right. 11:25 for the table 10. >> 11:25 for table 10. There's those are limited. >> And don't you dare put your name on it.

333
01:35:17.840 --> 01:35:32.719
Right. >> Huh? >> Don't you dare put your name on it. >> Well, I mean I mean obviously we're going to have and maybe we don't even sell a table of 10 because we might need those four tables of 10 to accommodate staff and dignitaries or whoever's going to be invited on there. >> So let's not

334
01:35:32.719 --> 01:35:49.360
>> That's what we That's why we have the 10 the last time. So then don't do table of 10. >> Yeah. They sell eight >> and we'll reserve the the 410 tables for >> for VIP >> council one different >> okay so table of okay table of 10 for

335
01:35:49.360 --> 01:36:06.239
the 10,000 >> you can't if you're if you're the presenting sponsor 10,000 you get a table of 10 >> okay and then the other ones are just tables eight so I'm going to take off table of 10 >> up here >> yeah we won't sell table of 10 so individual tickets are 125 table eight

336
01:36:06.239 --> 01:36:22.080
900 Okay, perfect. >> And then sponsorship levels 10,000 5,000 >> 25 >> 2500,500 >> 500 >> now. So 10,000 you get a table of 10 at

337
01:36:22.080 --> 01:36:38.159
the 5,000 level. >> Two tickets. >> Two >> two tickets. >> Two tickets >> at the 2500. One ticket. >> One and a half. If you can figure out a way to do that, we'll do it.

338
01:36:38.159 --> 01:36:54.560
>> I I wouldn't go less than two tickets. >> I I like We like like five 5,000 two tickets. >> I think >> I think 5,000 should be a table of eight and then 2500 would be two tickets. >> No. >> No. >> No. >> We're trying to raise money. >> Yeah. >> We're not trying to save people money.

339
01:36:54.560 --> 01:37:10.000
>> They get free advertising. >> So yeah, they can advertise. So tickets 5,000 and it works great. 10,000 you get a whole table because we want to get that big sponsor in there. 5,000 you get two tickets for that. Okay. Stars and stripes would be something else. 2500 you get one ticket. >> One ticket. Yeah.

340
01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:26.639
>> You don't buy additional tickets, but you get a free ticket with your 2500. And that's and basically it's it's 5,000 double. You're getting two tickets. And then you move down to the 1,500. >> You're buying a whole table. >> Mhm. >> But it's a table sponsor and that $600

341
01:37:26.639 --> 01:37:44.159
additional is going towards you get a little extra advertising in the in the book or whatever. And then at the $500 level, which is our last one, right? >> What do we do for that? >> So, no tickets. >> You just you get an ad

342
01:37:44.159 --> 01:37:59.119
>> for 500. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. >> You recognize a sponsor for $500. I like that layout. >> You guys go. >> I think we should have like a couple's

>> like I bug me a man buy a ticket and I love you dear. Is that what you're looking for? Something like >> No, that would be for businesses. >> No, no, no. >> I'm trying to Let me find something. >> I do like the couple thing. We get two tickets. Do you get people in pairs? Can we do something?

345
01:38:30.320 --> 01:38:46.719
>> We don't want people coming too much. >> Only I go solo. I don't know who else goes solo in this whole county except me, but people buy two tickets when they go to events other than people that are single. >> Well, sure. Yeah, you buy tickets. So,

346
01:38:46.719 --> 01:39:02.560
