We are considering <b>in-person sales</b> (such as sitting in front of Harvest Market or Safeway) as well as <b>"distance" sales</b> (such as asking the Quilt Guilds of the North Quarter to do a special Opportunity Quilt Newsletter that will go to all of the member guilds and might generate some sales among their quilters. (NOTE: We are not allowed to sell tickets on-line... we can post the information on our website - which we have done - but people cannot actually order and pay for tickets on-line...that's considered internet gambling.)</span></span><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span class="size" style="font-size: 16px"><span class="font" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif;">The committee is also asking for <b>your </b>creative ideas.</span></span><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span class="size" style="font-size: 16px"><span class="font" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif;"><b>What ideas do you have for selling opportunity quilt tickets? </b>(Please be specific - name the specific location or describe how the tickets would be sold.)</span></span><br></div></div><span class="size" style="font-size: 16px"><span class="font" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif;"><br><br><b>All ideas are welcome!</b><br><br><br>You can respond to this email with your ideas, you can contact any of the Ad Hoc Committee members:<br><br>Becky Bright<br>Sharon Gieras<br>Sharon Lau<br>Linda Moore<br>Paula Perelstein<br>Judy Whitlock<br></span></span><div><br></div></div><br></body></html>
