[Peace] Postcard update

[Sandra Ahten]

Dear Peacemakers

I can't be at the meeting on Sunday -- so i wanted you all to have a 
Postcards for Peace update.

The fundraiser is going fabulously so far. We have over 140 postcards 
submitted by about 50 artists! yes! yes!

9 people have made a deal to "parent a postcard" -- that means that they are 
paid $65 to select a postcard that they would like to have copies of.  We 
are having these professionally 4 color printed with "postcard" info 
(including the artist/ title and a blurb about supporting AWARE) on the 
back. "Parents" will get 50 of them and AWARE will get 250 of them to sell.  
The cost to print 250 actually is going to run about $90.

In addition to these 8 we are using a donation of $200 to have 3 more 
printed and so we will have 11 postcards to sell in either Xmas cards or 
"political message" packages.

I know the math doesn't exactly add up there. I am upfronting some money and 
have done so to buy frames also.

Speaking of frames. We are framing postcards next Tuesday from 9am-4pm and 
Wednesday from 7-9pm. Please email me with a time that you can be there. No 
experience required.

We need workers at the event. 9am We will need 4 people to help hang the 
show.

2pm, We will need 4 people (who are comfortable with handling money and 
following procedures) that will be able to work all the way through to 6pm.


6pm We will need 2 people for clean up.

Well, as you can see - this time fram interferes with our regularly 
scheduled AWARE mtg.  I scheduled the event at 3pm thinking that it would be 
done by 5 -- and I still hope that it will be done by 5:30... but the more I 
thought about it I realized that 5 was unrealistic.

So as a group you need to decide whether to move the meeting back to 6pm. I 
vote to move it back and will disappointed if that doesn't happen.

MOST IMPORTANT - We need to promote this thing. We will have a small article 
in the CU-City View and something in the NG and it will be on the cover of 
the public i. I have mailed many "postcards" myself - but I need you to send 
the postcard invitation to your friends and we need you to personally invite 
someone and bring them along. It really will be lots of fun. Good to be with 
like minded people, viewing art, listening to music, sipping coffee, and 
supporting AWARE.

Bulliten Board fliers will be at Sunday's meeting, couried by Lisa Chason. 
Who will volunteer to "do" the bulliten board round? It is great if you all 
take a couple -- but that is really not enough we need a volunteer to 
systymatically get to the public bulliten boards in town on Monday. Meridith 
or Peter Miller can supply you with a list. Please respond to the peace list 
as to who will do this.

Sorry if I sound a bit bossy (it's kind of in my nature) but really I am 
excited -- You should see all the cool postcards - you'll be as excited as I 
am!

Sandra
