Important Fundraising Opportunity from Landon!

The Verizon Center is giving us a fantastic fundraising opportunity. We receive, as commission, the greater of the following:
(1) 8% of revenue gained from each register we staff, before taxes (average revenue is $8000.00 per event, so we get about $640.00);
(2) $60 per volunteer

I expect that, with 10 volunteers, working one event will give us at least $600.00. With 20 volunteers, we could earn at least $1200.00. As such, these events are crucial. We can't afford to miss out.

Because these fundraisers give so much dough, anyone who participates in these fundraisers will get two fundraising credits (as if you had attended two bake sales). Attending two of these events will give you three credits (five total). So doing two of these Verizon Center events will cover Nationals and another tournament for you. A third will cover three tournaments.

However, there are a number of requirements placed on us. Most important, all of our participants must sign a contract, and attend an orientation on Monday, February 20, from 6-8PM. This is mandatory for those who plan on doing Verizon Center events.The location is 'Dewar's' - apparently a place in the Verizon Center off of F Street and 6th Street.

Important: You cannot be late to the orientation, or these events. Otherwise, the team gets fined, which defeats the purpose of fundraising. 8] So, if you cancel without telling someone, you won't be able to go to the tournament you planned on attending.
