SailAway Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 I hope it's not too soon to start talking this up. We've been working on sponsors and details for the cleanup and it's getting pretty exciting and I realized that we haven't even posted this year's flyer yet and then I looked at the calendar and realized that we only just now on the verge of February. Phew! Okay, everyone mark their calendars for this year's cleanup and remind your camping group how much fun you've had at the previous cleanups and let's get our participation numbers WAY UP. I'll attach a copy of the flyer here so people can start printing it out for their own camp groups but also it would be dandy if a few people could volunteer to take them to their local off-road shops for their sales counters and windows. Wooooo hooooo it's only 45 days to go! Vicki 08_Dumont_Cleanup_flyer.pdf Quote

SandBox_Kid Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 It's never too soon to discuss the CLEANUP!! Quote
dunefreak Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Vicki, you know I will do whatever is needed to help, sponsor, raise raffle prizes and/or funds etc for the cleanup like usual. I'll get the flyer posted on the homepage and events page and make some copies to pass out. Quote
sand chick Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I added the flyer to the front page of my myspace in jpeg if anyone else wants to get it from there! click on dumontsandchick in my sig! Looking forward to doing it all again this year!! Quote
EY3BA11 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Its never too soon.. IMO it should have been discussed and posted a couple months ago... to give everyone ample heads up and time to plan. Quote

Crowdog Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Can you just try to make it so it isn't so damn hot this year? :beer_bang: Quote
dunefreak Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Can you just try to make it so it isn't so damn hot this year? :beer_bang: Yeah no kidding. Last year was NASTY! Those were record highs though. I doubt it will be that hot this year. Lets hope. Either way, I'll be there. Quote

dunefreak Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Are there any major sponsors yet this year, Vicki? Quote
SailAway Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 This year it's going really slow getting sponsorship money from people. Product donations, no problem. But major sponsors are slow to spend their dollars this year. Seems the consumer crunch has trickled down to a vendor crunch. BUT... don't be alarmed... I'm encouraged by the movement in the last week and actually I haven't been concerned even before that. Just surprised at the pace, although when I look at past year movement, we're right on track. I think people are being frugal (sounds so much better than stingy) but when it comes right down to it (and I start emphasizing the deadline), they're willing to pony up. None of the donations and/or sponsors really start heating up until much closer to the cleanup so give it a little time and you'll see lots of action. Vicki Quote

Vicki Well I will donate (for DDR) towards T-shirt sponsorship whatever the cost and then some for a spot on the shirts again this year. Quote
indasand Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Hey Pete/Vicki is there anything specific needed for the cleanup? If any of us were to ask our employers to contribute or to just be involved what would we ask them? Money? New to the clean up sorry for the questions.... Thanks, (PM sent too) Edited January 31, 2008 by indagully Quote
dinicolady Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Can you just try to make it so it isn't so damn hot this year? That's funny, Davey and I were just talking about this over dinner tonight! Keeping fingers crossed it stays a bit chilly for the clean-up this year. The kids start Spring vacation the 15th, so we hope to make it a loooooonnnnnngggggg weekend, but don't want to hybernate with the A/C all afternoon(s). Quote
