Magic,

Can I have the prizes shipped to you again?

 

[Magicbob]

sure

 

[mbroberg]

I've started sending out emails and PMs. Prizes should start trickling in. I'll update the first post of this thread, as well as the website and FB page as I hear back from donors.

WF, please keep me informed as prizes arrive. This year I am going to try and have envelopes with address labels and stamps prepared to hand out with the prizes.

 

[mbroberg]

Magic,

One other request please.....

Can you sve return addresses? I don't always have addresses on the donors.

 

[Magicbob]

yes, I will make a spreadsheet of donors and the prizes they donate

 

[mark james]

yes, I will make a spreadsheet of donors and the prizes they donate

Send to me also as I will begin drafting the handout/schedule with them listed on the back.

Thx!

 

[mbroberg]

I have a spread sheet made with all the people contact when thy respond, what the pledge, etc. Let me get through it at least once and I'll send you both a copy. I am starting with the people that made a donation last year.

Nice! That will make it easy for me to create some address labels.

For what it is worth, here is what I am working off of. I haven't made it all the way through yet and I am making additions and subtractions as I go.

I'm just starting to use (wife "Wifey's" tutoring) Google Docs. So I was able to access these.

D.mn nice spreadsheet Mike. Almost makes you look organized! :wink:

Paul Akers, owner of Fastcap has just informed me that he will provide a coupon code that will give at least 100 attendees $20 off an order from Fast Cap between 5/18 - 5/20. He will have stickers on the catalogs he is providing for the SWAG Bags that will have the code and instructions for using it. I think a $20 discount is pretty generous when looked at as a potential loss of profit of $2000.

I have to go to Rochester, NY tomorrow, and have contacted folks at Turning Lumber - shipped directly to you.. They do have turning blanks, and pen blanks in their inventory. They are in Buffalo, and I have some flexibility in my plans.

They advertise in the AAW Journal, and have booths at some of the AAW shows. I'll feel them out for catalogs, coupons, freebies.

Every year since I started being the prize begger I have contacted J.R. Beall. I never hear anything from him. Today I got a UPS shipping notification that he sent a 19# package to Magic. I have no idea what it is. It should arrive tomorrow. It would be cool if it were several Pen Wizards, but will probably turn out to be catalogs.

100 catalogs and a 82 deg. counter sink value $21.90

[mbroberg]

What would an 82 degree counter sink be used for? Deburring the end of a tube?

Mark, yes
Mike, They show it in their catalog to cut the leading edge in wood threads, and deburing.
I don't know, I guess we will package it with something else
