However...I'm part of a committee here in Brooklyn as part of my daughter's school to solicit donations for a silent auction they're having to save their arts program. It isn't a secret that NYC schools are getting murdered by budget cuts and we need to raise as much money as we can to help the school fill in budget gaps.
So...if any of you have any interesting connections to businesses (know them, work for them, own them) that I could solicit for donations for this cause, a business who could provide an item for people at the event to bid on --- gift certificate, membership to something, etc. --- let me know. If you have any other ideas for donations or have something you think people may want to bid on, let me know. You can IM me.
I don't want to do something/ask for something, but this just seemed like an opportunity to leverage this community. I hope that's understood.
Many thanks.
