Re: [SH-Discuss] SynHak Renovations Fundraiser
I don't have any metals pieces to donate right now, but I am more than willing to make some jewelry pieces to donate! I'll need to be able to set up my chemical picke to clean the metal before I solder it, but once I'm able to do that I can start working on pieces. (I haven't been to the new space yet, so I don't know how soon I would be able to start working there. I just need an outlet for a small crockpot and the butane torch...ideally the drillpress as well, but if that won't be ready for a while I can work around that.) I realize that it was mentioned to happen a few months down the road, so there isn't an immediate rush. I'm just excited to make things! As a somewhat related note, I have been considering buying myself more sterling silver to work with, which would increase the potential value of any donated jewelry. I order from Riogande.com, but shipping can be expensive. If anyone else wants to work on small jewelry/metalwork and needs materials, let me know and we can organize a combined order and split shipping!

I started writing out plans for a silent auction last night after talking with Andy. This isn't an instant solution but it is defiantly one we can do a couple months down the road. examples of what could be sold are (these are all hypothetical these rant actual required donations) : - I could donate a skirt that i made ... Probably a star wars one because people seem to love it (valued at $40) -Beth could donate a necklace and ear ring set -Nicole could donate one of her metal pieces -Matt Smallwood and Steve IV could donate a free consultation plus a coupon for $100 of a service from Brewbeck IT services -using the magical interwebs i could print out a few cookie cutters on the 3d printer and make a baking gift basket that probably would in the end cost me no more then $10. -Torrie if she so desired could donate a tiny robot or something - G could offer a picnic and boat ride out on the lakes which would just cost him the picnic supplies gas and a few hours out on his own boat ( my grandmother has a pontoon and auctions the same thing off at the African Sky silent auction every year) -Omar could put together a laptop that has been donated that would be good enough to play video games on it load a copy of portal on to it and put portal related items into a basket and auction off that. - Matt Smallwood could auction of a curry dinner for 6 at the winners house where he goes to their house one night and prepares and serves dinner. ( my father use to auction off a pasta dinner for the knights of Columbus every year) - Devin could put together a paintball basket with a $5 gift card to a paint ball range,a small thing of amunition, a few monster and a camo hat. ( all this stuff we could probably get as a donation from location) -we could contact local art students from U of A, Firestone and Miller South or professional artists like PR Miller and Don Drumm and ask them to donate works of art . again these are just ideas not one person has to donate exactly what i said just brainstorming ideas to get those cogs turning. This is not an instant fundraiser it would take at least 2 months to plan and launch. the most
