Halloween Benefit (Late October)
Is this something we want to do again? I think it could be really cool but we’re going to need to start work on the project now. We’ll need help with promotion, attain acts, decorations, fliers, attaining a venue, etc… If we do this, lets do this huge and aim for a few hundred people. Thoughts?
I’ve started this discussion about the event so we can all add our thoughts, interests and where we can individually help out.
How you can help:
*Add your thoughts about the event on the forum
*Help get big name acts
*Help promote
*Design Fliers, Posters
*Canvas, Wheat Paste
*Help get prizes
*Come up with awesome ideas for the event!!!
*Contact me or post on the forums if you’re interested.

Outreach
Last year's benefit was a great outreach tool and brought us even closer to Vic & Charlotte (at the Cinema). We definitely need more people in Huntington who are able to do pickups and help with the kids.
I think the Cinema is a good venue -- we can draw in a Huntington High School crowd if we advertise in the area, and we don't need to pay the Cinema or give them a cut (if I remember it correctly ...). A dance party would just need a DJ, in case we can't find acts in time, and could also draw in all ages.
Maybe this year, we can have some free food (dinner-type stuff: pasta, juice, etc.) and sell vegan treats like brownies and donuts as a way to raise additional funds.
If we do it on a Wednesday, like we did last year, I can canvas Huntington the Saturday night before, and I can also decorate and help set up during the day. I'm not sure who to talk to about prizes, or what prizes to get.
Last thoughts: We could charge $5 with a donation of clothes or groceries, $7 w/o. Finally, we can aim to distribute the 'zine at this event -- it could be a Halloween Party and a launch party.
More on Venues
So far the only idea we have for a venue is the cinema arts centre, the only problem with this is that we'd have to be out by 12ish... Any other thoughts? We'd need a large venue preferably in the Huntington or Hempstead area.
down to help out
I can bottom line the benefit. Any ideas on where to have it?
