Hey guys,

I think that's a really great idea Shelly but, at the same time, I personally think it's far too late to be coming up with plans like this. There's barely a week and a half before the show and I honestly feel that the cast and crew are under enough pressure as it is without having to do sponsorship work as well. If Shelly can go to all this work and only secure one definite sponsor, I think it's a lot to expect of the cast and crew to produce €2000 in sponsorship in the space of a week and a half while also juggling lectures, rehearsals and other commitments.

Also, I think the chances that the musical gonna run any sort of substantial profit are quite slim. Apparently costs for the show are looking like being upwards of €15,000. I think it's somewhat unrealistic to expect that there will be any significant profits to contribute to St. Michael's House after all costs are taken into consideration.

I really don't wanna be a killjoy here but I genuinely think that this course of action could lead to more problems than it solves. Again, I think it's a really good idea Shelly but I just feel it maybe should have been implemented a lot sooner.

Just my thoughts on the matter. I understand that you guys might not necessarily agree but I thought I'd throw my two cents in.

Joey

P.S. Happy Paddy's Day!

Yeh thats the plan. And if St Michaels doesn't go ahead i think we should present them with a cheque from the profits

I'm up for it on two conditions...

1.) ALL the profit goes DIRECTLY to St. Micheals House project and not to drama.

2.) And if we DO NOT MAKE A PROFIT we must hold another fundraiser for St. Micheals House project- because otherwise its just lying to get what we want!!!

Anyway, I think its a really good idea, provided it goes to the cause we say it will!

Well done on the AIB,
Steve

Ok here's the deal,

AIB is a definate. Have to ring Navan SC back in an hour to see. Clerys won't and neither will Jervis.

However someone came to me today with an idea for sponsorship which i think could work. If everyone involved in the musical and the committee were all given sponsorship cards  with maybe 20 lines on it and asked jus to get sponsorship off random people. If every person came back with mayb €40 and there were about 50 people then we'd have in or aound €2000. Now people might be a bit reluctant to just hand out money jus for a musical so here's how we come around that. We tell them that the profits go into the fund for producing St Michaels House project which it would be doing anyway.

Tis a suggestion and any suggestions back would be wonderful or any opinions so please get back to me ASAP so I can put this into opperation if everyone agrees


Shelly xx
