This week!
WOW!
Holiday Pops Sponsor Magic Begins!
This week launches our Holiday Pops Workshops on
establishing relationships with Holiday Pops sponsors.
Our special thanks to Amy Hart and Joan McCormack for their dedicated collaboration to develop the Googles Doc and
provide a listing of our most recent sponsors.
This session will be devoted to building our teams,
using the Google document and
selecting the organizations each team chooses to approach.
As you know, Holiday Pops is our major-major fundraiser as well as being our holiday gift to the community.
All of our philanthropic giving is based on the proceeds from Holiday Pops so it is important that every member participate in this grand and truly outstanding event.
Those who can, please bring your smart phone, iPad or laptop to this session to have a hands-on experience working with these tools.
Active Members will be receiving the sponsor prospect list
as a PDF
in a separate email early this afternoon.
Please take a moment to review it
before Tuesday.
Honorary Members - if you'd like to help with sponsors,
please contact Jessica at jdharbar@comcast.net
to receive the list as a pdf.
Again, profound thanks to Amy and Joan and
the inspiration and confidence this session will give us all!!!
