Ok,

Everything is coming together for this event. AdamT has signed the contract with the opera house, and the $1500 rental fee has been paid. rp08orbust will be handling a robo-call into Pella and all surrounding areas, including Eastern Des Moines. RonPaulHawaii will be in Pella with boots on the ground all week and will be able to pass out invitations / promo material all week, while trying to generate some media buzz for the event.

We are in need of some additional funds to cover the cost of refreshments (popcorn during, cold appetizers, and drink), and the printing cost for promotional material. The total amount that we need to raise is $680 ($500 for refreshments, $180 for printing)

If you have the means, please consider chipping in. Time is VERY tight, as it will likely take at least a day to have the materials printed, and the event is on Friday.

Also, I need your thoughts on a planning issue:

Would it be better for people to have refreshments first, then watch the movie, or watch first, then have refreshemnts after? They would need to move into a separate room for the refreshments. Also, if Dr. Paul is able to attend, I think it would be ideal to have the refreshments afterward in the separate ballroom, where everyone can congregate, eat, and listen to Dr. Paul speak for a short time. Thoughts?

Thanks again! This is an exciting grassroots initiative, and I'm glad to be a part of it! I think it will be VERY effective in generating buzz before the straw poll, and attracting new poll-goers to vote for Ron. Also, props to "Travlyr" for chipping in for the event in REAL money!
