READ THIS POST!

Ok. I've been told I need to do a Relay update...which is probably a good plan seeing as how the event is now ONLY TWO WEEKS AWAY!

1) COMMENT WITH YOUR T-SHIRT SIZE IF YOU AT ALL PLAN ON GETTING AN OFFICIAL RELAY SHIRT. Unfortunately

I *may*...I'm not sure, but I'm thinking about it...I may order them today, and if they don't get here on time, I'll just see what I can do to sell them afterward. Actually, first I think I'll see if there's a number or an e-mail that I could use to get an approximate shipping time before I order.

Yeah, the Pondo thing is iffy...I'd need someone to come with me to Beech Grove for a significant chunk of the day, and probably two days (one where we get the word out to regulars, then another where we actually start making the money). I don't know if it's worth it or not, especially since we wouldn't be representing that particular community, but if we can drum up much business at all, we could probably count on at least $200 (I mean, that'd only be 20 or 21 people). And also, Beech Grove would be the best because they get more business (and they like my dad :)) but we could probably get them to do 10th Street and keep it a little closer to home. I'm not sure. But just let me know if you think it's worth pursuing, and I'll set something up.

I'll go with you if I can ...I work SO much, but yeah. I don't work Friday or next Tuesday, for sure. If you want to do it, I'm for it.

Hmm, Tuesday...That might work really well. I'll see when my dad is working, because I could go Sunday or Monday and spread the word around the town a little bit. Since we don't have anything like bracelets to "give away," maybe we could steal the star idea that Regal (and every other business) uses, and ask for donations of a dollar as they come in in return for their name on a "walk of fame" star, in keeping with our theme. I mean, that would give us a chance to give them some idea of what we're doing rather than "The surplus from the meal you're about to eat goes to us." But it's early and my Silly Idea radar is off, so let me know what you think. :)

OH MAN! If this would have come up before that last meeting on Tues, I actually could have gotten stars from the Relay people that we could use for exactly that! POOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

We could still run with this idea though. I just don't like the idea of cutting out stars for it. Maybe we could take down thier names and they could be entered in a raffle for a free dinner for two? Could you dad do that? I mean, like min donation of some dollar amount, and they could win dinner? And we get their phone # or something. I don't know...maybe that's too much to ask from Ponderosa...but it's an idea. Because if we did that, then we could get the surplus from just one day, but maybe we could take donations and get names from people for two or three nights...

I could ask him about it, and that would be a nice way to extend the donations period...I don't know if he can do that or not, but he's kind of excited so I think just about anything's possible as long as Pondo Corporate's okay with it. :) If you like the stars idea at all, though, or if we want to have two options (like, $5 for a dinner raffle, $1 for a star), I bet anything we could find a tear-away pad of them at someplace like Michael's. For fairly cheap, too. I'm going there today with Sarah to get some rockin' foam boards for our car wash signs, so I could take a look.

Sounds like a plan. Look into it, and we'll do what we can! If we do the meeting on Monday, perhaps we can do the donation thing on Tues/Wed.
