Hi, We (local/core team) agreed earlier this evening that it would be a better idea to lower the sponsorship packages to equal the ones of DC9. This was because we asked around and ppl told us that the NYC sponsors team had problems finding sponsors because the sponsor packages were to high!
Again, we ask for more discussion from the previous sponsors teams (DC10, DC9, DC8, etc.) regarding this issue. But please bear in mind, that we need this brochure soon (the brochure itself is finished, we just need this vital information to finish it 100%). If somebody objects the above decision, please please PLEASE let us know ASAP!
