Ad-hoc silent auction sounds awesome, it could pair nicely with our tshirts that we're printing this week ;)<br><br>We dropped the ball on getting a 501(c)(3) for food donations, but that's okay. I think we can budget some of the income for the event toward food/snacks. Let's execute this step at tomorrow's meetup. <br>
<br>Also, I just made a fresh batch of homemade jalapeno salsa I'll be bringing for everyone to gorge on!<br><br>// Matt<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 1, 2012 at 11:29 AM, victoria <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bogdan.victoria@gmail.com" target="_blank">bogdan.victoria@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

On one brighter note, the good folks at Linden Brewery said that we could offer a private brewery tour as part of a silent auction (which we didn't really plan on having, but a pal of mine is donating her awesome terrariums for such a thing, too). We could do either a silent auction or a raffle, either way... <br>

Hello Sudo Roomers,<br><br>Alas the task of bringing in food & drink donations has hit a snag, as the breweries and grocery stores I've been calling (Linden Brewery, Oakland Brewery, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods) say that they only donate to official, on-the-books, bona fide 501(c)(3) nonprofits, and that we are not. <br>
<br>Will we use our money raised through ticket sales to buy food/drinks/cups/utensils? Will we all chip in for this and then have a food/drink donation box on site? Does anyone have any connections we can work to get discounts or donations the non-official way?<br>
<br>Let's get this convo started because we only have a few days to pull it together!<span><font color="#888888"><br><br>V. <br><br>
