Reviewed menu from Brickhouse and the food is set up for 100-150
Chris handed out some tickets to local folks.
Hoping to see a good # of people at the door given promotional activity
Reviewed 2 examples of center pieces – earth & forest tones. There are 7 altogether. Donation page with QR goes to donation page. Bigger poster will be placed around the building to encourage donations.
Elevator signs showing people where to go – using wine bottles instead of signs to keep with the theme
A couple more baskets getting donated (EIU & local photographer)
Brickhouse is donating a meal for 2.
McGrady Inn is donating a night’s stay.
Have some odds and ends from Lola Viola and we can put them in the fall basket
Friend who owns hair salon (day of pampering) still putting together auction baskets
Chris did research into silent auction baskets to price accordingly
Chris is going to CI Living and would be great to have a leaf from the book tree to show the piece of jewellery so he can push the event
Mini-golf will be set up. Charleston Country Club donated 4 rounds of golf with a cart. Will put your name in a basket and pull to see who wins.
Program is mostly finalized, just waiting for the baskets to be completed – will function as a mini version of the newsletter.
If people come without cash we’ve made a station at the service desk with card readers. Can purchase attendance ticket and pay for special tickets to redeem at pendulum painting or book tree.
Talked about having selfie stations but scaled it back due to school re-starting and traffic at the library picking up.
We will have a couple photo-op areas with a spooky thing and character cut outs.
6. Adjournment
