-Bonnyvox- $15.00 (cute memo message! :)
So you are all spared the fate of having 10k of Fundraiser FAQ stuffed
into your mailboxes for one day! :-) Thank you, Bonny!
** Media Spotlight Awards- a few things:
1. I have 3 people lined up to represent the lists at the awards. I can
send one more, or really 1 person for every $250.00 we donate. (I called
AIUSA today to make sure). So - if YOU are someone who lives in the general
NYC area (NJ, CT, NY, PA...) and would like to join the other 3 people who
are attending the awards AND you have made a donation or will be making a
donation to this fundraiser, email me! If you agree to attend and
represent the lists- here is what I am looking for-
- Someone who contributed to this fundraiser or will, who can get to NYC
on the evening of Monday, 9/28.
- Someone who can observe, participate, is comfortable mingling with VIPS
and stars. ( Patrick Stewart, ABC News Prime Time Live, Muhammad Ali, The
Boston Globe, Kenneth Cole, Christiane Amanpour, Emerge Magazine, Richard
Gere, Melissa Mathison and Public Radio International, big wigs at AIUSA,
etc)
- Someone who will not drink so much that he/she doesn't remember what went
on at this thing the next morning! :)
- Someone who can be our eyes and ears, and report back articulately and
accurately to the list about the event. (This is crucial - I *will* enforce
this; it kind of didn't happen last year! If this list is sending you to a
$250/plate dinner, you WILL tell us how it went...)
- Someone who will *really* take advantage of the experience, live it to
the fullest, and have a fabulous time!! :-)
- Someone who has the proper attire! (Last year, the invitation read,
'festive attire' - I still don't know what that means!:) this year's
invitations were mailed today, I'll let you know how they word it when I
get it!)
PLEASE UNDERSTAND- this dinner will not cost us anything. We were going to
contribute over $1000.00 anyway. This way, we will still contribute the
same exact amount of money, but we will get 4 dinners out of it. There will
be no difference in our contribution whatsoever, and no difference in how
the money is used by Amnesty International.
Pertinent INFO-
Date- 9/28
Place- Pier Sixty at the Chelsea Piers
NYC
I'll let you know the time, etc, when I get the actual invitation. If you
are interested in representing us at this event, email me!
A question I am getting asked again this year is, why don't *I*, Heidi,
attend the dinner? Here's my answer-
1. I much prefer to play Faerie Godmother, wave my magic wand, and send
others to a ball that they would otherwise not attend! I especially get a
kick out of it when someone gets to go for whom this event has some real
meaning!
2. I do believe it would be a conflict of interest for me to attend.
BTW- it's of some coincidence that I reported Bonnyvox's donation today -
SHE is one of the people who represented WIRE at the awards dinner last
year! :-) And she did file her report afterward, as she was asked. :-)
Lastly - the auction for this past week is closed- the winners have been
notified!
Sara Z, your email is bouncing, please contact me! :)
Okay - this was my last post for the day, I think I took advantage of
that! Back to the couch, not feeling well...
