Alumni Communication - March 21, 2006

 


Hello BHS Class of 1986!

Mailer
You will soon be receiving a "special" gift in the mail from me. Well, not really from me but on the behalf of me and our good friends at the Anchorage Convention & Visitors Bureau. A little hint... there are two moose on the cover... Enjoy! ;o)

Donations Received
I would like to thank the following people for their recent cash donations. It's greatly appreciated. Thank you!
1. Sharon Manassa (Smith).
2. Terry Sniff (Shively).
3. Kim Kost (Anderson).
4. Yvonne Lee-Kuehn.
5. Leah Steinbruner (Hommel).

Donations Needed
I'm still looking for cash donations. At this time, I'm currently about $1,000 in the hole. If you can donate any amount, I would greatly appreciate it. Make checks out to: Dawn Dalton and email me for my address. Thanks!

Prizes and Raffles
I'm on the hunt for free giveaways for prizes and raffle items.
-- Does your company have giveaways that the class might enjoy? Merchandise? Gift certificates? Services? Merchandise certificates?
-- Your spouse's company, family members, etc.?
-- How about yourself?
-- Examples: company merchandise or giveaways; sporting tickets; day at beauty salon; babysitting; dinner coupons; artist - works of art; hairdresser - basket of hair care products; interior designer - free room makeover; landscape artist - plant; tire store manager - 20% discount to any of his stores nationwide; airline pilot - buddy passes; handmade afghans and quilts; etc.

Large Item Donations
I'm looking for a sponsorship from an individual or a corporation for the following things:

1. T-shirts
Is there a company out there that would pick up the whole cost of making and distributing a
t-shirt for everyone in the class? We could incorporate free advertising some where on the t-shirt for them. Please contact me immediately.

2. Memory books
Again, we could incorporate free advertising in the books for them. I would like a sponsorship for the printing and shipping to every classmate.

3. Other large items
I'm not sure how to incorporate advertising in these items, but I would love someone to pick up the costs for:
a. Centerpieces (banquet).
b. Children's entertainment (picnic).
c. DJ (banquet).
d. Videographer (entire reunion).
e. Disposable cameras. Also, does anyone have a connection to get them free some where?
f. Badges. The magnetic kind. Also, does anyone have a connection?
g. Free personalized souvenirs: pens, hats, coffee cups, key chains, novelty items, etc.
h. Free copying in Alaska?

I look forward to hearing from everyone!

Thanks!
