St Willy’s Jam 2007
Labor Day: September
3, 12:00-6:00pm
Dear Green
Bay area business:
This
letter is to cordially invite you to become a part of an exciting Labor Day
Event. Called St Willys Jam 2007, it
will take place on the St Willebrord Parish grounds from 12:00 noon until 6:00pm
on September 3.
The
purpose of the event is four-fold:
- To
attract the youth of the community and their families to come together in a
safe and festive environment to enjoy music and food with their peers
- To
give several talented young bands of the area exposure in an area event, as
well as an opportunity to perform appropriate music to a large number of
young people
- To
provide an opportunity for the youth and adults in both the Anglo and
Hispanic communities to interact with each other
- To
raise some funds for the Hispanic ministries provided here at St Willebrord
At St
Willy’s Jam 2007 four or five different youth bands will perform.
Between the band performances will be individual performers and dance
company exhibitions.
Also
spread throughout our grounds will be a variety of carefully chosen booths or
tables with information for the young people.
The businesses involved will be those that have a product or service that
the young people and their families either use or would be interested in.
St
Willebrord will provide both Mexican and American food and non-alcoholic
beverages at reasonable cost.
You will
be contacted by one of the members of our planning committee, who are all active
St Willebrord parishioners. He or
she will have more details and will be able to answer your questions. We
are hoping that you will consider being a part of our event.
We have
several options for you to consider.
If you are
interested in being an active part of St Willy’s Jam with an eight foot space,
the cost is $100. You would be able
to sell your non-food merchandise directly, in a space that you set up with your
own tables and materials.
We also
have several area sponsor opportunities:
A large sign advertising your business next to the stage for
$500
A large sign advertising your business next to the food booth
for $300
A large sign advertising your business next to the bakery
booth for $300
A large sign advertising your business next to the raffle
booth or silent auction booth for $300
(Sponsors
will have the option of providing the signs with their logo, or we can create
the sign here – sizes still to be determined)
If you
prefer to be involved in another way, we are gratefully accepting donations of
items suitable for our item raffle or silent auction.
We hope
that you will consider:
·
Having a space
here, sponsoring a booth, or making an donation for the raffle or auction
·
Publicizing this
event by hanging a publicity poster at your place of business when they are
printed in early August
·
Personally
stopping in periodically throughout the day to interact with our young people
and their families in an informal way
For your
records, St Willebrord Parish is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation registered
in the state of Wisconsin. So any
contributions made to us are fully tax deductible. Specific tax forms with our federal ID number are available
upon request directly from me.
If you
would like to discuss the event with either Fr Ken DeGroot, the pastor of St
Willebrord, or with me, feel free to call me at the parish office.
I do believe this it will be a fun day for our teens from throughout the
area, and we are very excited about the opportunity to provide a fun and festive
event for them.
Sincerely,
