NCM Parking Lot Banner(s)

[GentleBen]

The NCM is once again soliciting funds for banners to be hung from the light poles in the parking lot.

Banners are $500 each and we, The Vette Barn, have traditionally bought two.

Anyone interested in doing so this year? I could be easily convinced to donate to this project.

Let's try to raise enough to purchase 2 banners!!

If using paypal to send money, please send as personal to avoid fees. (they are sneaky with that). Checks are also okay - please PM Rob (Dixievet) if you need the address to mail.

Paypal: [email protected]

Also, include your forum name so I can keep track of who donates

Last year we were in a situation where we all directed the funds to save this site rather than support the banners.

So, are you saying that we are in the same state now? I would much rather keep this site up than having a banner or two at the NCM but I would not be surprised if we couldn't do both. :seasix:

So, are you saying that we are in the same state now? Absolutely not. This site is funded and not going anywhere. I think what Rob meant is there was no 2018 banner drive because of the bigger concerns at this time last year.

I don't know if last year's absence affects our ability to get back into the NCM banner program this year. I assume they prioritize repeat customers first, but have no idea if demand exceeds supply. :island14:

I will make this a sticky and put my PP info in the OP.

We are a bunch of misfits on this site, but we truly do some amazing things together. :seasix:

[Rob]

I can add $25.

Basically....we have bought two banners, and have your $25 left over.

I can keep it in the reserves or refund it back to you, I will let you decide.

If you guys think we can raise another $475, we can buy another banner :dixie:

What say OT??

:cert:

[Black94lt1]

I vote keep the money in reserve for next year or for another good cause

We have a new wrench in the plans.

Hi Robert,

We received two banners orders from your club. We need to refund one of those as we’ve tried the past few years to limit clubs to one banner each so that more clubs can get involved in the banner program. Especially with this being Caravan year, they are in high demand and sold out.

We can refund your credit card, unless you prefer a check? We also offer Caravan/Anniversary bricks if your club was interested in shifting money towards that.

Let me know!

Thank you for understanding,

Hang on to the funds. It can be used as a basis for another useful purpose such as the Christmas in Bantayan...

Like Ben says, or put in escrow for next year's banner.

[Bill]

Apply it to some other mutually agreed on VB project.






....or go with the old standby, hookers and blow. Just don't post pics or Sea Six will get upset.

Did not know that.

Hi Robert,
Apologies for the delay in getting back with you! We’d been doing some juggling here to see how we can accommodate everyone. We’ve decided to add banner hanging hardware around our “grass” circle – which will give us 12 more spots. [emoji4] So you can keep your 2nd banner.

Thank you to Vette Barn for all of their support!

PS – Have you heard about our new Café table top offering? It’s $1,000 a year with a 3 year commitment and you get to keep the table top when the 3 years is up. You get to submit at least 6 photos, logo and some fast facts about your club. We are working on a mockup but the new tables will be here in time for the caravan. I do have a flyer if you think your club would be interested in learning more!

Katie



:dixie:

I did ask if we could get one of the locations in the grass circle if possible.

could always sell a wrap on #1,000,000, or any other long term display.... :slap:
