    Hey guys,
    Any suggestions for places to get donations/what goodies do you want? I've contacted the following (and informed them all of your 501(c)3 status, so maybe that will help):
    Seachem
    JBJ
    Marineland
    Fritz
    Hydor
    AI
    Two Little Fishes
    Aqua FX
    Rod's Food
    New Life Spectrum foods
    Coral Magazine
    Let me know and I'll hit 'em up! No promises, but I'll do my best.

    BRS is a Sponsor. Did they supply money or goods?

    I sent requests to Larry's, EcoTech, and BRS. I have heard back from Eco Tech, Two Little Fishies, and Seachem. They said they would be interested in helping, but haven't replied as far as to what we will get.
    I also told David that we have a customer who is looking to sell his 34 Neo Nano set up for $100. I didn't know if the club would be intrested in buying it from him and using it as a raffle item (or if someone just wants to buy it, I can put you in contact with him).
    I'm excited! Any other places I should hit up?

    When does their sponsorship expire? Do we have a timeline for any of our sponsors?

    Also, I hit up 3 online stores and Safari Pets in Cabot. Safari pets gave me a verbal "interested" but nothing in writing or e-mail.

    It might not hurt.
     
  17. Deton8it

    Deton8it President Staff Member

    You might as well. You never know who may be willing to be a sponsor.
     
  18. TFTank

    Ok. Just e-mailed Marine Depot. I will try some local stores, if that's acceptable.

    So, Tropic Marin wants some info that I thought one of you could fill out better. http://www.tropicmarin-usa.com/donationrequestw.pdf
    In addition to the form, they also want the following:
    items:
    1. List of the clubs’ Board of Directors and Officers
    2. A full listing of the donation levels and benefits by levels.
    3. Full contact information of the person to receive the donated item(s).
    I've been using the store as contact for donations: Vaness Scroggins c/o The Fish Tank 6115 W Markham Little Rock, AR 72205 501-537-3474

    I think David Pettit or David Martin should fill this out.
