Planet's input needed on this years fundraiser

[Nzoner]

I know this is early but a couple of ideas have come up that I wanted to get feedback on.

1.Look at moving the Saturday party to a different location just up the road from my place that will handle alot more people.The reasoning behind this is being able to get the public involved i.e. more money for the charity and also a percentage going to Kyle and the Planet.

The 2nd part of this idea would be to stop the public function towards mid-evening and then we(the planeteers)move the rest of the evening back to my place.


2.This idea came from another person and would include the Saturday party with everyone either staying overnight at Casa De Nzoner's or a local hotel and actually having a continuation of the weekend festivities in the gameroom during a Chiefs road game.I understand that we have a few planeteers who come a great distance and going to Arrowhead is a big part of their reason for doing so.

The Sunday party would of course include the Chiefs on the big screen plus 6 other games on the tv's and we would look at having an actual tailgate party here etc.


Anyhow,just looking for some feedback on these ideas all thoughts are welcome.

Thanks all.

I vote for the weekend of the Broncos game.

Heh, that would be a helluva kickoff to the season.

A Friday get together for those that can make it in,Saturday party with live music,fireworks and bonfire not to mention the anticipation of a new season.

Everyone will be sick of pre-season,the weather should be good,all teams will be playing so KC on the big screen and Donks @ Buffalo on one of the other tv's followed by the 3 o'clock games(for those that can stay awhile) featuring Bears @ Chargers and Lions @ Raiders.

I'm seeing some real possibilities here.

[Nzoner]

I was talking to Bob Dole earlier and since he's looking at bringing a couple of musicians with him this year we're going to see what their schedule is like.

[Nzoner]

I've had a couple of suggestions on other things we could donate too and would like some feedback if anyone is so inclined.

When we disbanded 37 Forever I felt the logical move was to go with The Arthritis Community Services here in St Joe because it was local and because Mrs. Nzoner was diagnosed with RA and her contribution to making our parties a success is next to none.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

In honor of Jared Allen, you could donate the procedes to MADD, DARE, or some such anti-substance abuse education organization.

We'd be helping the ones who have a problem with it. We drink so they don't have to.

We raised about $6k last year at a bar here doing a fundraiser for a guy who needs a liver translplant.

Bump for a good cause. I'll be there nzoner. Maybe have Pinatas cater? They're good people and maybe you'll get some business with a little help from Stewie.

So how does your wife feel about you going around and doing everyone's moms all the time?

We are still waiting for the strippers you were going to bring last night.

I like the idea of the road game, but that's just my opinion. I've gone to a game completely hungover and sleepless before, and it wasn't nearly as much fun. At least I would have a little more of Sunday to sober up before driving 3 1/2 hours home.

Are you raising money for the same charity as last year, or will you be choosing another. I'm personally inclined to give to the American Cancer Association, but again that's just personal preference. I'd be happy knowing my money was going to any good cause.

If the drinks will follow us to Nzoner's, as I know they will, I can wait to do my drinking to help keep a few Planeteers safe for the trip back. I am sure there would be at least a few others willing to take on designated driver duties for the move back.
