Funding for the new year


While we have been running for a few months now on the generous contributions of Mahonri, this board ain't free and we have until April to raise at least $260 for the next year.  We were throwing around a few ideas for earning money, let us know what you want to do and then we'll do a poll or something.

1.  A cookbook.
2.  T-shirts.  If we do this, what designs would you like?
3.  A plain old 'give us money' campaign.
4.  Any other suggestions, please!

How about my "I slept with JFK, and all I got was this Lousy TeeShirt" idea!?

Dude, Bountiful is my secret place. I'm so not wearing a t-shirt that would give away the secret to the rest of my ward. biggrin.gif Oh, and just for form's sake it shouldn't say "Bountiful" across the chest region.

I actually think I've seen sorority girls on campus wearing that shirt already. wink

BTW, even though Mahonri made huge contributions, he wasn't the only one who helped us to have enough money for a year's subscription. Unfortunately the board just recognizes the most recent contributor.

Instead of going through the cost to produce something, just donations. If everyone just kicks in 5-10 bucks, or some amount. Kind of like those school fund raisers, I would rather give the amount the school would get from the tub of cookie dough instead of buying the cookie dough.

I dunno. I think Coco has already kind of gotten started on a cookbook with the "Yummy Cooler weather" thread and the summer food thread awhile back.
You could also use the plain old give us money campaign like PBS does. Although instead of offering cool stuff in return you could threaten to have Beefche come and secretly videotape people during an embarrassing moment. laughing.gif

Wait a minute - has it been six months already since we renewed for a full year?

I would buy a T-shirt, if it was sufficiently in-jokish. I would wear it, too - thus marking the official bridging of my online persona with my flesh persona.

People, increase your consumption of Tomaccolatte brand tomacolate, and after Jason and I have increased the price due to refinery outages and increased demand by China, I'm sure Tomaccolatte Inc. will consider making a fully tax-deductible and public donation with ample media coverage to the cause.

Remember, Tomaccolatte brand tomacolate is the only brand out there that has that smoothness that fills your need while being a good corporate citizen!

Come on!  We should have a telethon!  We have talented Bountifulites to contribute.  Ray's dancing comes to mind.....

And I can videotape it all!  And sell that!  Yahoo!

See? Great minds think alike. That's kind of along the lines I said earlier Beefche.

Ok, now let's consider this for a moment folks. Do we REALLY want Ray to strip? Or should we just let him do it and keep telling ourselves it's for a worthy cause?
Who knows, maybe we could get enough money raised up to cover a couple of years!

BTW, I would like to point out that, even though we don't need the funds till April, you can feel free to donate any time you want.
