BookCrossing Exchange (help needed!!)

[discoverylover]

Anyone remember when FutureCat and Otakuu went to London? Well, I got an email from FC last night saying she was super busy organising the Christchurch Convention but that she had promised Skyring that she would organise a Dutch BCer to come to Christchurch to promote their convention in 2010, and asking me if I would like to take over from her. And I said yes.

Of course, today, I realise I have absolutely no experience doing fundraising or anything like that, and so desperately need ideas for ways to raise money to get a Dutch BookCrosser to Christchurch next year. So please, please, please, I'm begging you, if you have any ideas, anything at all, please feel free to throw them at me, no matter how crazy they are (we are all crazy remember!).

Fundraising? Oh heck!!!

I suggest you go to the Public Library and ask for a little book called something like "A Guide to Fund Raising" by Penny Eames. I know that Penny's name is correct so a search on the library catalogue would help if the librarian can't assist you. Get the updated version if possible; the first was written several decades ago and it has been updated at least once.

Thanks! Found it (I love online catalogues!) published in 1995 :-)
