So, I usually have a tea party roughly once each year, and my house's max is definitely 14 for such an event.
I'm not sure when I'd do it (maybe should have gotten on the ball earlier), but I'm wondering if I could have two tea parties to try to generate a few donations.
Your thoughts, please, on this idea:
Two parties, open to more than just the usual suspects (either by extending an invite to more of my friends and/or allowing friends to bring friends), with attendees encouraged to make a donation to the MS Society for my MS 150 ride.
Would friends attend if they knew I was trying to get them to donate (money or time) if they have the means, knowing there is no obligation, but certainly a hope? Would they bring a friend who might donate, which might broaden my donor pool? So, ultimately, would I get more donations than I normally would get without these bonus tea parties?
Is your view swayed by this photo of one particularly rowdy guest who, at first glance, appeared so civilized?
See if you can't get Piper to ride a bike while sipping tea!
ReplyDeleteIt could be like you are a street performance. While your friends are sipping tea, you can perform for them on your unicycle with prancing dog. Then bow, and have Piper circulate the crowd with a hat for people to put money into..... think about it....
