KICK-OFF QUILTING CIRCLE IDEA:  I have a friend who's mother runs a
quilting circle.  They are interested in sharing this art with us.  I was
thinking - what if, during the kick-off event - the front room of the IMC
is "all quilting all day" - anyone can drop in and join the quilting
circle and add to the quilt whenever they want, and for however long they
want to stay.  Thoughts?

next week: talk about registration

Fundraising
--------------------------
FUND-RAISING THOUGHT - by Anne
In our fund-raising efforts, we should look to
supporting and being supported by women-owned businesses.  In particular,
I propose we approach local female-owned restaurants (Milo's, the new Thai
place, Miko, others?) with this:
 - they host a RAGG night - half the price of any entree purchased by
someone who says "I'm dining for RAGG" is donated to RAGG.
 - full price of any drinks, appetizers, desserts, etc., go to the
restaurant.
 - full price of entrees ordered by people not dining for RAGG go to the
resaurant.
 - RAGG markets the "Dining for RAGG" night to bring people into the
restaurant.
 - Restaurants are featured on the RAGG Supporters page of our website.
 - Restaurant owners get free admittance to RAGG workshops and events
during the year the host a "Dining for RAGG" event.

Web site and materials
--------------------------
RAGG fliers now exist!  - they are great - pick up and distro from IMC

Biz Cards - Michelle will make

WEBEASEL driven website:
we have consensus on the proposed donation
it will cost RAGG $120 to use WebEasel this year.  
we get  
-One FREE 12 page WebEasel license (value $750)
-%50 off monthly fees to be paid in one lump sum ($120), due June 1.
-At end of year, RAGG will assess it's financial situation, and will pay
regular monthly fees for the following year, if possible.
