Coming up this week Conor and I will walk through Fells Point again, talking to the local businesses. The thing we are going to change this time is that we are going to go later, because that seemed like when most of the actual owners came into work. This we feel will help us because then we can talk face to face with the managers or owners and not just rely on an employee to pass on our information to them, and trust that idea that they will read our ask flyer. We will also try talking to the restaurants about food donations more than gift card donations to see if we can help out with that part of the event as well.
As for the silent auction, I am beginning to think a raffle will be the best form of money revenue for the donations we have right now. So instead of the baskets we will have a small bag or bucket in front of each donation. Then towards the end of the night we will pull from each bag to find a winner. We can sell the tickets for the raffle both at the door as well as having people walk around with tickets selling them to people as they mingle around the event. However, if this week or next come in a lot of donations that aren't gift cards then the silent auction could be the better option. But that is the back up plan at this point in the time frame.
