Cohousing-L Mailing List: Auction item

[Ruth Hirsch (heidinys]

Hi,

We-- my husband and I--did this a conference ago.  We offered a weekend stay 
here, at our home.  We are at Cantines Island, walking distance to the heart of 
Saugerties Village, and minutes from Woodstock, NY.  The winner of this auction 
was a very lovely woman, and I'd say it hopefully did National some good,  and 
went well all around,

Ruth

Subject: [C-L]_ Shall we offer an overnight to the auction at the national      
conference?

Offering something for the auction at the conference is a great 
marketing tool. Marketing team had talked about having overnight 
visitors with some, but not a lot of, support from the community - I 
understood a limited yes. This would be the best offering to do - an 
auction item for a wonderful overnight rural stay for two in Liberty 
Village. It would include staying in the common house. The winner pays 
the FIC and CohoUS which sponsor the auction. Our costs for the visitors 
(food, CH fee, etc) are our donation to the FIC and CohoUS and we get 
the marketing visibility at the conference and the hope for a prospect.

It will take someone to host them, someone to coordinate a picnic, and 
any other activities. I will donate a tour and introduction to cohousing.

Anyone else willing to offer anything?

I suggest we offer a one night stay for two anytime up to Nov 30, 2011. 
We could specify that it would have to be a weekend night, or leave it 
open.

Martie
