Fundraisers
With
the continuing low level of corporate sponsorship for revolutionary
organisations it seems that the fundraiser will be here for a good while
yet. The downside is that they can involve loads of work, stress and
loss of sleep. The upside is - well obvously the cash - but they are
also a chance to have fun, meet new people, and to play with new cultural
forms outside of the narrow confines of consumer society. Ideas?? Well
music and dancing work pretty well, but there are also film nights,
auctions, lunches, raffles, screenings of large events, massages at
festivals (seriously it works great) etc etc. The most important thing
is to leave plenty of time and also energy for advertising, as the number
of people who come is obviously the most important thing.
