First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... * Things we still need to do:
o We hope to attract some corporate sponsorships and perhaps organize some fundraising activities prior to the event. We think the majority of any funds we raise should be used to help pay for fuel/lodging/travel costs for those who would have to travel the farthest. We don't want anyone from our group to stay home due to financial concerns (although we draw the line at paying to help someone get their car finished!). Any excess funds would be used to cover organizing costs and prizes for our Show-n-Shine. We need help from any of you who would be willing to help contact potential sponsors and/or organize fundraisers in your community (get your kids to do a neighborhood car wash!). The more money we could raise the more successful this event can be. Other ideas for fund raising?? o We need to nominate someone to handle the cash. Do we need to find a way to open an FGF checking account? Anyone have any experience doing something like this? o We need a solid list of potential vendors who might offer support/sponsorships. We will put together a one-page flyer that will include all the important details of our event that can be used when contacting potential sponsors/vendors. Do any of you know anyone who has organized this type of effort for a similar organization? Do any of you have good relationships with any of the key vendors we buy from? o We need to contact other Firebird and Pontiac organizations to spread the word and promote our event. Any volunteers for this effort? o We need to decide what to call this activity. FGF Drive In? Get Together? Road Rally? Something more creative? Please submit your suggestions and maybe we'll have an online vote if we get multiple good ideas. A good name will help us promote a successful event and hopefully start a tradition that will live on for years to come. o We need someone to create and maintain a web site that could be used to promote this and future events. It doesn't need to be anything fancy or elaborate. Any volunteers? o It has been suggested that we might want to organize a few activities for the families that will be traveling with us. We would like to receive feedback and/or suggestions from those of you who expect to have your family with you. Should we organize some activities for you or do you prefer to do you own thing?? I'm sure there will be other details that we haven't thought of yet, but this is a good list to start with. Most importantly, we want to start spreading the word so everyone can mark the date and start planning for a road trip next August! Please reply with your suggestions and feel free to contact David Meyer or me directly. Our contact information is below.
