Steak-Out '8 ~ Volunteers Needed!

First, Thank You Jim for posting the event flier and information! I sincerely appreciate it!

Second, this is our 5th Annual Steak-Out and this year, we are honored to be producing it in partnership with CorvetteFlorida ~ one of the most friendly and social Corvette forums that I have had the privilege of being a part of.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Last year, we delivered over 2700 pounds of food to RCS. This year, our goal is to deliver 4000 pounds! So i hope that anyone who is within driving distance will join us for a fun evening in support of this worthy cause.

However, if you cannot make it but would like to offer a contribution, there is a donation button on the Corvettes Anonymous Events page.

Volunteers

We need volunteers to assist with

Set Up ~ Registration ~ 50/50 Sales ~ Gift Basket Sales ~ Parking & Tear Down. RCS will have a truck on site, but there will be shopping from the evening's proceeds to be done the next day.

If you would like to assist, please email me at tom@corvettesanonymous.com

Jim, I hope that you will be kind enough to assist me with MC. :dancer01:

Btw Andy, nice avatar!

Connie has gotten it into her mind for us to go to this event..... So a big MAYBE ............
 
Come On Down, Rich! Bring Connie, and anyone else that feels like coming along. Just leave all of your "critters" :eek: at home please. The more the merrier, and the REAL winners will be the people who depend on The RCS Food Bank.

Let "Shadow" and I know what your plans are when nearer to date.
The Steak Out Show is on Friday night and Saturday we can all meet at Insta-Lube and all go out to dinner. Let us know about Hotels etc. if you need help. Also: Let Greg and Rachell (AnteVenon) know too, so we can get them there also.

Jim,

I think Connie's plan is for us to head on down to Englewood on Saturday to visit with my mom right before Mother's Day. Getting together with you all sounds like it would be a lot of fun, so I'll run this by her. This SHOULD be after most of the eggs have been laid, but I may have some stragglers that will keep me from being away all weekend. The dummies will sometimes lay outside the egg laying box, which means the eggs will dry up and die in about 24 hours. Snakes just are NOT the smartest creatures God put on this planet....

Wish I could get 1000+ advertising sponsors for this site so I could quit being tied down so much with the reptile business. After all these years doing it (since 1978), it's starting to get REALLY old....

Have you thought of this or actually done this yet.....IDEA!!!!
Go to the Top 100 Sites and send each one a "PDF" flier with an Invitation with all the details of being a sponsor. I know its a simple idea, but sometimes more than one invite motivates these guys. Make sure they know we have 2300 members also etc.

I have been also doing my best to get you loaded up!!!

Let's get a flier made and give out to the gang to take to shows. I know of at least 4 of us at Saturday's Show at Quaker State had fliers to give out. The same could be done for sponsors and handed to the vendors at each show.

:hehehe: JIM :hehehe:
 
I always have my fliers with me and although I don't walk around and pass them out, I place a bunch on my windshield for the taking.
 
Oh yeah... that's something else on my TODO list. Make up a new flyer design and get them printed up. All 5,000 of the batch I had printed up are now in circulation somewhere around the state..

As for going after sponsors, man, I SUCK at the salesmanship thing. I've actually had sponsors approach me cold asking for details, so I send that to them, and whoosh.... never hear from them again.

You would think that a guy who could sell snakes could sell absolutely ANYTHING, wouldn't you? :banghead:
 
Connie thinks we could do it, but I need a location for that Insta-Lube meet. A map would help..... Have to see if we can work it to get to Clearwater on Friday evening by 6pm, do the Steak Out, get a motel for the night, then drive down to Englewood early on Saturday to visit my mom, head back up to Tampa for the Insta-lube (time?), go out to dinner with you folks, find another motel for Saturday night, then drive back home on Sunday.

That'a all assuming I don't have a half dozen or more snakes due to lay eggs that weekend....... :crazy03:

Time: We start arriving between 5-5:30 pm. We're usually out of there (unless someones modding a car) arount 8:00 pm at the latest; however, since it's not a "formal" car show with scheduled hours, people come and go at will.

It's really a great time with a pretty decent turnout:thumbsup:

Hope to see you guys there.

Yeah, I get the same thing, but it's just a numbers thing. :shrug01:

Well now, THERE'S your problem! There is a Huge difference between selling snakes and snake oil and you are too honest for the latter! :thumbsup:

Btw, PM sent regarding Steak-Out and places to stay. Call me.
