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: ask people to donate is the simplest fashion. A raffle or lottery might indeed help. If you can easily contact many people in real life, you could get some silly small gifts and sell them for a higher price, mentioning the profits will be for a fundraiser (tiny wooden shoes or bookmarks for example) *is excited*

we will have a donation part of the website once I've figured out paypal! And I really like your other idea too!

Are you on msn? I only ask cos I know you and Moem were IMing the other night and she added me so I thought you might be too. Feel free to add me if you are, its just my gmail account :-)
