Raffle committee for Pugoween

[Larry]

I'm putting out feelers to see who would like to get together to help with getting raffle items and running it at Pugoween.

We have 2 Pugoweens this year - Mississauga and Toronto.
It would be a matter of contacting different companies, letting them know who we are and what we do. That we are raising money through a raffle and would they consider donating a product.

Let me know if this is something you would like to help with. I figure a committee of volunteers means we can spread the work.

I'll be in touch when I get back from holidays.

Thanks

Is there someone that's looking after raffle items for Pugoween? One of the suppliers I work with is happy to make a donation.

I will do a couple Estee Lauder/Clinique/Mac baskets again if they worked out for Woofstock?

I'm not the fund raising person (dodge that  job like a bullet), but YES, go ahead and get some donations/raffle items together.  They won't go to waste.  With two Pugoweens happening and then Puggin Claus, we can use all the raffle items we can get.

I did not peruse the "Events" section on the first page, as yet, but do we have a date for Puggin' Claus??
Just asking so that I might attend if I can get a request in asap for time off  hopefully for good behaviour

Looks like there is a date. Once pugalug is a charity, however, they can give out the donation letter to those who donate which will make more give. tables can also be rented for the event for a cost and a portion of sales too, to raise even more money. How about people selling Xmas crafts or wares at the event too and paying for the table?  It is a Xmas event, right?

I was just wondering if there is a raffle coordinator yet

[Larry]

No we don't have one yet. Once Pugoween is over I will start working on the raffle for Pug Claus.

I'll start a new thread for that so people can post items. I'll have to arrange how they will get to the venues.

Thanks

I think Miss "Keep on Pugging" needs an avenue to put all her great ideas!!

I nominate Deb for our Raffle Coordinator!!

Come on Deb, with your busy lifestyle; I'm sure you could squeeze a few
more jobs in there

It works better if a donation letter can be given in exchange for donated item, once charity status is achieved by Pugalug someone needs to write one up.  Remember, at Xmas time EVERYONE is fighting for donations and this economy doesn't help!  Many organizations put the word out months in advance (like our local school, who set the date a year ahead!)  Pugalug members have to become true salesmen for their cause and must reach out to everyone, especially if they are new, for this economy will not help matters.  Other ways of fundraising should be considered too, not just the traditional.  If the walk-a-thon is the biggest money maker, perhaps really concentrate on that and expand it?  That's just my take on it. I do have a few others who asked either for my help with fundraising, support in a group capacity or in an advocacy role, so I am still thinking it all over still, so many to help, so little time...  I noticed Larry is the Fundraiser (reading from the new list) and I always thought he was the Director and Creator/Developer of Pugalug?  Sorry my mistake entirely, I'm glad the new list was posted.  :oops:  

If anything, I considered dealing with the Mississauga locale, especially for publicity, but will see.

Where can I find more info on the St. Catharines Pugoween? I had no idea we had one coming up, so all I know is that there is one, and it's on Saturday!

I love your idea Tanya, & your photos too  

[AlyssaMarie]

I think both ideas are awesome... and with Christmas being so close, even better!
