I am part of a group of approx. 30 people trying to raise money to purchase our what used to be local Elementary school to turn it into a community center. It is where my dad went to school at, I went to school at and my oldest daughter attended it before they shut it down and consolidated the smaller schools into one big school. We are forming a non-profit organization, the paperwork is being finalized on that this month. However we need to come up with some big bucks in the next 4-6 months to be able to purchase the building and land. So if anyone has ANY fundraising ideas and can give me info on them if possible it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! We have several upcoming events including... elemination dinners, 50/50 drawings, longanberger(sp?) basket bingo, soup bean and cornbread dinner, spaghetti dinner, indoor flea markets, we are also renting the gym out for parties, wedding receptions etc. and we have set aside one of the classrooms and have it set up as a meeting room for local 4-h, and girl scout clubs and business' can use it/rent it to hold meetings. We need some new ideas though and it has to be something that is reasonable priced for people to buy the tickets to come to as we are no where close to being a "rich" community. The school board gave away the other 5 schools that they closed down but want to sell us the one we want
. We are running out of time and we need help with some ideas is the reason I am asking you all.
Please any suggestions or ideas will be a HUGE help.
