[CoLoCo] FC meeting outcomes, ideas, etc...

[siblog]

Yes Kevin thank you very much for introducing Dan and I, it looks like he is
interested in helping sponsor the event.....which leads me into my next
question - I have never put sponsorship together for an event. Dan is asking
what he can help with and frankly I really don't know, lol. What would be
some things that we would need help with? Flyers? Advertising? Decoration?
Food? Drinks? Gifts for raffle? And what exactly do we offer in return?
