Guest guest Posted February 11, 2001 Report Share Posted February 11, 2001 Dear Francine and Janet, This sounds like a wonderful idea. I don't know how avon works though. I'm not sure how you use it, so if you could further explain it, I would appreciate it. Is it where the profits after cost are yours to do what you want with? If that is the case, it would work very well. Please clue us in. Thanks for your ideas, and more importantly, for you concern and enthusiasm. Sincerely, Regina neurochem1@... > I also sell Avon and have thought of this.My business is slow but maybe once > the weather is better I can beat the streets and get it going.Janet > > > >From: btygirl1@a... > >Reply- @y... > > @y... > >Subject: [ ] Fundraiser > >Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2001 23:59:01 -0000 > > > >Ok everyone.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2001 Report Share Posted February 11, 2001 I am lost as to what/where and how y'all are doing any fundraising, sorry, but I cant remember. I make chocolates, all kinds, so if someone wants me to donate them for auction/raffle, just holler. Take care, Pepi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Francine, Janet, Pepi, Anne, and anyone else whom I've neglected to mention; I think you have a wonderful idea going on here. As I understand you, bottom line is commission is yours to keep after the cost. The more sold, the higher the commission. This would then be sent in it's entirely to the HLDF (Horowitz Legal Defense Fund). I think that is a great idea, and one of the many valuable ways to do this. I also know that the auctions I keep speaking of is still in process, so that is a second viable resource. I think with so many of us in different place, it's not unreasonable that there is more than one thing each person can do, if they choose to. It seems as if the avon thing doesn't have anything holding it back; it's each sellers choice what to do with the proceeds. If this is correct, then there's no problem. Those who are more familiar with these products and have the potential people to sell it to could use this. You may want to think of this on several levels. Some of us would do well with this, and could perhaps also do a mailing as suggested below. I say this because the mailing to others gets information out to those you send it to ASAP, and begins to get those dollars in. Meanwhile, you are raising awareness regarding Lyme, what is REALLY is, and what is going on. Some may have items to donate to an auction, and may be terrible at selling. Some may be able to host a small party, etc. If we can each do a small thing now, and then if some of us also do AVON,and/or the Auction; this can really grow. I don't believe it will be one thing that gets those dollars in. I think there are things we can each do in just a few days (see the mailing/emailing segment of the repost below), and agree to be involved with something else according to our time, energy, finances, etc. I have suspected that most feel we need one big thing to make this defense fund work. Actually, that is so far from the truth for these purposes. A big thing is good, in that it unifies us in the task, and provides a venue that didn't exist for raising funds. Avon is a great idea, as is the auction. I fully support both ideas, and see no reason not to do them both. These may raise a significant amount of cash at one time, but don't underestimate how much those little things add up. The " little things " can be done in a very short time as we are getting these big things together. This is just a suggestion; pick (according to your needs) one little thing (mentioned below in REPOST) and commit yourself to doing it in a week's time, or two. If you also want to start the Avon thing now, the maybe choose the simplest quickest thing on the list. Once that plan is fully in place, turn your attention to your project and begin posting about your action (AVON). Have the details ready when you do post, so that those interested can get the full details right away. Don't get discouraged if it seems that no one is listening. It can feel like that at times, so pace yourself and just be consistent. You should ask those who do reply what state they are in, and if they had enough time to be a coordinator. If you get a yes, get in good contact with this person, so that as new people reply, you can respond, but also refer them to the person in their state. This person must know the whole story, and have a good grip on it. In doing this, you will save yourself critical time, and expand you reach. This person can also post on the boards, and now you've saved more time. If you are going to be the main person (your avon connection), then this time is something you'll truly need. I do think it is a good idea. If it were me, I would get a small thing to do for HDLF out of the way in the next few days, and then figure out all the details before I post the announcement. I'd post it on every board, send emails to everyone I know, and have it all ready to go. You need to pace yourself, because you'll have good days and not good ones, and just need to be consistent. Keep posting each day, at least once on each board you go to. You never know who didn't see it until now. You will get where you want to if you don't burn yourself out, but just don't give up or get discouraged. When you are ready to make this announcement, I will personally take it everywhere I go, with your permission. The response could trickle in, or be overwhelming: just be prepared for either. Let me know what you think; and don't forget the power of the small moves in advance of a larger activity. Here's the repost I've now mentioned too many times. I send you good energy, and look forward to hearing more.I also spoke with a woman that is on the board of an unrelated organization about fundraising. Since I have never done this kind of thing before, I have been asking for suggestions from anyone who has. Because there is little time left to raise this money, I have focused solely on this part of the situation, and this alone is taking much time, so I cannot also address further political action, though I do support it, and will do what I can. Sincerley, Regina neurochem1@... REPOST: Fundraising... I explained the many problems of trying to do fundraising for this issue. Unlike some other groups, we do not have the favor of politics on our side, nor any deep pockets to draw from. Many are unable to do very much, physically and/or financially. The suggestions she gave me have been successful for others, and while it may seem like it wouldn't be enough, the numbers do show that it actually can produce more than one large event. For example, if 1,000 of us can each raise $100.00, that is $100,000.00 (it is estimated that each doctor will need a minimum of $75,000.00 for their defense. How to raise it: First -collect one or two good articles (Dr. B., Dr. L., Dr. H., etc.) that explain in the easiest terms what Lyme Disease Really is and what it does; a copy of the current GAO investigation with the background (like the one from the LDF), and finally one copy of any of the announcements of the Horowitz Legal Defense Fund. All are online with no cost. With this packet prepared, you can do any or all of the following things according to your means: -Family/Friends/E-Buddies Send this packet via email, regular mail, or hand it to everyone you know or have contact with. Many organizations do blind mailings, and find great success even with those they don't know. If just a few people from each one of us send something, this can actually add up more quickly, and without cost (except if you need stamps, of course) -Small Local Fundraising This is also used by other groups and larger organizations. With the material mentioned above in hand: 1) An awareness party- invite your neighbors and friend to a Lyme Awareness Fundraiser in the form of a wine and cheese party, coffee/cake party, pasta party- whatever, where each person donates $10.00 or whatever amount you think in order to attend. Give each person the package you've printed, so that they have the opportunity to read about what Lyme really is, and the GAO investigation. Keep it as simple as you can, so that the cost isn't high. If you can't afford to donate the cost of the party, recoup it from what you've collected, and send the balance to the HLDF 2) Are you in a lyme support group? A Church group? Do you have a group of people around you that you can get together. How about some kind of cooperative activity, like a bake sale, indoor garage sale, etc., under the title of Lyme Awarness Fundraiser. Again, hand out the information to each person. With any of the above, you will be accomplishing several things at once. You'll be collecting money that is desperately needed, letting people know what Lyme Disease really is, and educating them about the ongoing politics. These kind of effort can actually accomplish much more than you might expect. I am sure there are many of you who have great ideas that can be accomplished without costing too much time or money. I hope you'll share them with all of us. I'll get further information on the auction idea and post it as soon as possible. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I just posted to all of you regarding fundraising, but I also had some thoughts on your particular talent. First, how come I didn't know this before I was allergic to chocolate???? Seriously; I don't know how you do this, i.e., is this done at home and home packaged, or is it your profession. Are they boxed as they would be if sold in a store? I can think of a few ideas for either scenario, and if you can provide some feedback, I can talk about it further. Let me know. Sincerely, Regina neurochem1@...

Allregic to chocolate! OMG!! *-) sorry, had to say that LOL I am seriously thinking about opening a shop, to both make and sell my chocolates. I make Truffles, Fudge, Dipped Fruits, Cookies, Cakes and Cheesecakes. The fudge I can make into any size, and make an adorable 1/2-1lb Fudge Cow Patty, looks like the real thing!!! LOL We are working on packaging now. I had been making this stuff for years for gifts and such, just decided to get off my duff and get paid for it LOL. The chocolates can have many flavors, so its just not plain, and I use Milk,Dark, White or a combo if it needs to be like that. Since Chocolate making is expensive, I would need to cover some of my cost. But , take the fudge, it makes an easy 300% profit, there is alot of time involved, but its not a bad deal all around. I do this myself so any order of quantity would need time and be within reason. If it were for auction, then say, 5 each of several items would be easy.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Mmmm, loads of chocolate...ok Pepi, your making me want chocolate! Like chocolate covered cherries and strawberries dipped in chocolate. Ok, that's enough! *lol* You make all that stuff, where did you say you lived?!!! I make homemade salsa that people tell me I should sell, but I don't know how to get all that started. Whatever you guys decide about fundraising, I can help out from here in land as far as selling things and posting signs or whatever. Whatever we use for fundraising has to be something that we know everyone would like and would want to buy. Anne - MD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 > I make homemade salsa that people tell me I should sell, but I don't know > how to get all > that started. Here is what I have found. People just eat up ( haha bad pun! ) homemade stuff. Ebay is great. Stuckeys, restaurants ( not chains ) truckstops, beauty shops and stuff like that are great for selling these items. Salsa would be great because its self-packaged, all you would need is a great label. btw, I live in Central Texas, but ship anywhere *-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Ok, now I'm starving and thinking. Still waiting to hear from Francine in regards to my post last night, but have many thoughts about your collective talents. I think it would be wonderful for you both to donate this to an auction, raffel, etc. As I stated in my post last night though, these will take a bit more time to get together. I also noticed that you would both like to get into more of a business with it. How about now? What I mean is that you don't have to wait. For Pepi, it seems as if your already doing retail selling of sorts. If not, then some of the suggestions I am going to give will also apply to you. How about solve many goals with a beginning direction. Do you have local stores, bakeries, gift shops, green markets, farmers market, etc. anywhere near you. Aren't you both on these boards? You do seem to eventually want it to be more of a business, so how about graduating in? Let's say that you set a goal either by time or amount that you would like to donate to the defense funds. You get your products on these boards and market them for fundraising, and do just that. You get them to local places above, and determine an amount you would donate for defense. There are so many options for you at this very moment. The best part is that unlike most other businesses, you could post feelers on every site you know, and see what the response is. Put out an annoucement telling people about your product, let them know that you're thinking of doing this for fundraising for defense, and ask them would they be interested in buying it from you. As you begin to get responses, start producing your stuff. Then, post an announcement that the shop is open and you're taking orders. If you do your math, and cover all expenses, you'll know a reasonable markup. You probably also know what a usual range for your item is, and this can help gauge your price. Determine how much of the profits will go to the HLDF (and BLDF), and make that clear. If you want to make a big impact right away, you can do something like for the next month, all profit goes to ----, and thereafter, you can do a percentage amount. In these groups, I am fairly certain others would initially buy from you just for this reason. But you have now created advertising and product recognition. I know for myself that initially I would buy both of these items just because of the defense fund. Later, if I knew that on a continuing basis, X percent of these profits went for the defense funds, I would be inclined to use them over any other product. Then, when we win these cases, you could keep it going. Example- ongoing 15% for all LD orders goes for donation to xxxx (something to do with Lyme Disease-activism, awareness, education, whatever). When the auction starts, you're already prepared to simply donate your stuff. Meanwhile, you are beginning your own business, and beginning to collect for the defense fund now. You are getting your product out there, and learning everything that can come up for your business in a somewhat controlled way. You've accomplished several things at the same time. It's ok that your dream happens to coincide with fundraising, and that you innevitably make your work from it. Thats just the universe's way of bringing good karma for having your hearts in the right place, while your dreams are there as well. Then, get to local places. Start small (less upfront investment, less risk, more control. You can imagine how this can grow. What a fairly safe way to start a business! There is no need to wait. It seems as if for 2 separate reasons, it may be your time to act. It could be that quiet but powerful voice inside prompting you to check out the signals. You won't truly know until you follow the lead. Pepi, if you already have a mail business set up, then go ahead and get it up here! Please post you list; items, prices, shipping, etc., and let me know how to place my first order ASAP! Also let me know how much of the profit at this time will go to the defense fund. Then let me know in the future how much goes for XXX. I may not be able to eat it, but I sure know who to give it to! Are you both just a little revved? I'm not discounting what work you will have to do, but if any of this feels even a little exciting, then follow your gut. Now that I have fully laden you with more than you probably want to hear all at once, please again look at my post below. Send information to those who you know who aren't involved with LD. You can educate so many with each 1 letter you send. You can raise so much awareness, lots of funds, and begin to follow at least one of your dreams. If each of us with LYME educates just 1 person, they will educate at least one more, and so on. I am sorry if my continuing to repost the info below is boring, but try and be patient; it can make so much of a differece. Please post soon, I am truly interested in hearing where you go with this. I will get back to you ASAP. Sincerely, Regina neurochem1@... explained the many problems of trying to do fundraising for this issue.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Regina, you go on girlfriend.... as I emailed to Pepi, I do not have any knowledge in the canning process. I mean I don't cook my salsa, but I don't want people to get sick either, that's the last thing I want. Maybe I will make a huge batch here and whatever I make from it, like for instance out of 100% of the money, I would only take like 30% for the ingredients and stuff and put the rest towards the fundraising.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Anne, That is a great idea. Also, check out alternatives. I know that cans and Jars can both be unsafe (Botulism as well as other anerobic critters) but perhaps jars would be safer? What about that vaccum sealer thing? I've seen it on TV and other places. Some are better than others. Perhaps you could investigate jarring safely (which can be done at home), or maybe yet, you could market it as something that can either be used immediately or stored, hence, the plastic vaccuum pack? I know this is perhaps not quite as pretty, but I'd rather pay for the stuff than the jar! Then, maybe this would be very easy to do at home, and may take some risk out of it? I would also cut down your time and costs immensly, if it were to work. Labels; for now (and just for the fundraiser) rather than investing much in it, perhaps you have a artistic flair, or your children do. If your just selling it to us, you could even put a LYME label of some sort. Depending on your skill with computers, I'm sure you could do some graphic thing that could be printed on your own homemade large labels, or you could go to a printer, and have a small batch done. If the plastic vaccuum bag does in fact vaccuum, when you went to local store, farmers markets, etc, it would be much easier to transport, and definately lighter to mail (unless it needs to be frozen). I forget the companies, but they ones who sell this maching may know about storing, and how to prevent contamination. You can probably type in the search " vaccuum sealer " (though you may want to spell it better than me), and go to the site, check them out, call their 800 number, and find out if this is a good way to go. Now, you go too! It is your idea and talent; I happen to think it's a great one. Let me know when I can place my first order. PS- how spicy is it? Perhaps you can get creative with your labeling (i.e.- mild= " for whimps " , medium= " average burn " , spicy= " strap yourself in " and extra hot= " I never saw it coming " ) Forgive me, I am VERY sleep deprived today.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Regina, You are brilliant!! I wish I had something to market. You make it sound so easy. Anne, I can salsa all the time. I don't cook my salsa either. I use the Bell jars and follow the canning instructions. Basically you boil the filled jars for about an hour until they are sealed. The instructions come along with the jars. Mine have kept for over 2 years. Go for it! OK...we've got chocolate and salsa. What else?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 a, I'm going to have to try it again. One time when I had thought I canned them pretty good. We heard this funny fizzing noise in the kitchen and then a big pop, it had kind of exploded onto the table and a friend of ours that we gave a jar too had that happen to them, the same batch, so maybe it was a tomato or something. I think I will give it another run and see how it turns out! Thanks for the tips! Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 Thanks very much,I really appreciate your consideration, but I must tell you this wasn't my idea. Francine, Pepi, and Anne started this discussion. I just saw it and it made sense in my head. If you are like me and can't cook more than boiling water, there are so many other options; Francine is looking for feedback on selling AVON (I couldn't burn that, could I??)and she can use lots of help. I need to post back to her, and post also under the " chocolate " thread as well. There are letters and notes to send to your friends and family; there's little house parties, bake sales, garage sales, so many ideas that are in prior posts. If you haven't seen them and can't find them, let me know and I'll go back and collect them to repost. And I second your comment- what else? Let's get all this info to places where others may read it and become inspired. I also love seeing this happen; though the activities may differ, the goal is united, and whatever we can do to facilitate this is so essential to the process. I may not be able to " make " something, but I can sure keep telling everyone else about it. Empowerment can be as contagious as any bug, so lets infect everyone we can with opportunity, possibility, and hope. I really believe that we each have much we can do. After feeling so unempowered with so many areas of our lives, sometimes our creativiy get hampered. There is so much we can do, and if we keep our balance with our activites and rest, eventually we will get there. Remember the tortoise (sp?) and the hare? We will get there. May the juices flow. I wish you Good Health, Peace and Empowerment Sincerely, Regina neurochem1@... > Regina, > You are brilliant!! I wish I had something to market.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2001 Report Share Posted February 16, 2001 , I am the one who is setting up the AVON fundraiser. I don't have all the details in yet so if you want to wait you can I should be up and running early next week. But for now you can buy from my website at www.youravon.com/fbrancatella my avon page they will prompt you to use my phone # and passcode. Rep telephone# (908)389-1897 passcode-anewyou. Then I will process it from there and forward the net proceeds to the fundraiser. I just have to write it all out and post it to the lyme groups. You just have to email me that you placed an order so I know it is going to the fundraiser. FrancineNJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2001 Report Share Posted February 17, 2001 Sally, Thanks anytime but for now depending on how much of the sales I get the percentage of proceeds will go to the defense fund. I am setting up a site specifically for the fundraiser still in the process. This is a good way to get started since I am not very mobile from being so sick. ButI am so upset about this whole thing with the OPMC that I want to do anything I can I may also extend itfor Lyme Disease Research we'll see. Thanks Francine NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2001 Report Share Posted February 17, 2001 Dear Francine, Your doing good work, but remember to take it slowly so as not to make yourself worse. I look forward to your information. Has anyone heard from Pepi or Anne? Homemade chocolate or salsa on the defense fund menu anytime soon?

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Since quite a few seem to have some wonderful talents, why couldn't we put together a brochure, like Hickory Farms, to distribute to people for mail orders?? Promote chocolates, pasta, salsas, etc.--whatever people have to offer? as a group, it should be cheaper to produce and group advertising. The whole thing could be called " Lyme Aide " or some such thing.....to raise lyme awareness and sell some yummy stuff in the interim. sue in nj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brochures are expensive to do, I already have been contemplating that. What I would like to do is when I set up my website, to have others let me list their items. I want to have a " Lyme Page " where a set % of the profit goes to the legal defense funds. I am working now on getting my site together, when its closer to completion, I'll let y'all know *-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Pepi- I will pay for FedEx on the cheesecake if you would like, overnight. I know it is much $$$ but so what....shows what a fanatic my husband is for cheesecake!!! LOL Easter is coming and I have 6 kids.......chocolates!!!!! (mom gets a basket this year too because the Easter bunny knows that mom has been doing a lot of counseling this past yr. and has learned that she must take care of herself too!!!!) Whatever you have is fine with me!!! Send me a " sample " basket/pack whatever, I can send a ck first if you would like. Plz let me know.
