Convention Help

Gentlemen,

 

I am writing seeking your help for the convention.  We have the honor of hosting the 2010 State Convention which will kick off the Sesquicentennial Celebrations here in South Carolina.  We are nearing the 120 day mark and there is MUCH that still needs to be done. 

 

The most pressing priority right now is Program Advertisements.  We MUST sell another $1000 in advertisements.   Please contact local businesses you deal with and ask them for their support.  The Convention Program will be a magazine (8 1/2 x 11) size publication with 50-60 black/white printed pages and a full color front/back cover.  Our graphic artist can create an advertisement based off the information they provide OR we can use one they already have prepared.  This is critical - we need to get these ads sold as soon as possible.  It wont take long to reach a our target of $1000 if everyone pitches in and helps out.  I would like to see this done before our next meeting on Tuesday, November 24th.  Please help and do your part to make this a success.

 

I also want to remind to you register NOW for the convention – don't wait.  Registration for members of the Pee Dee Rifles Camp will be HALF OFF the early registration fee.  Your cost to register for the Convention is $25.00.  Please take a few minutes, fill out the form, write the check and get it to me.  Take advantage of the reduced registration fee and do an Ancestor Memorial to honor your Confederate ancestor.

 

Advertisemen, Registration and Ancestor Memorial forms are attached or you can visit our website at www.peedeerifles.homestead.com to print the forms there.

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Convention Program Advertisements

Gentlemen,

 

The Division Convention is fastly approaching and will be here before you know it.  I need your help selling advertisements for the program.  We need to sell as many adds as possible to pay for the program and raise some much needed funds for the camp.  This is a fairly easy thing to do - everyone should know someone who would at least purchase a business card size add - it isnt that expensive.  Rob is an expert on graphics and advertising.  He can create an add from a business card, logo or website.  Below is a sample email you can send out: 

 

The Pee Dee Rifles would be honored to advertise your business in the 2010 South Carolina Division Reunion Program.  The convention program will be a high quality publication worthy to be sold on any news-stand in the country. The front and back cover will be full color with black and white interior print. The program will contain a mix of articles on local War Between the States subjects, Ancestor Memorials and Advertisements. Rob Jones of Southern Graphix will be doing the layout and printing of the program.  The Pee Dee Rifles would be honored to advertise your business in the 2010 South Carolina Division Reunion Program. We will offer black and white advertisements for your business, memorial or personal message ads. Please send us your graphics ready ad or our design team will develop a suitable one for you. Please include any specific details or important information about your business that you would like for us to include in your advertisement. Deadline to receive advertisements is January 31, 2010.

Please complete the attached Advertisement Form. Email your graphics or questions to Convention Chairman, Ron York at scscv2010@gmail.com

Thank you in advance for your help,

 

Ron
