Welcome to the 2017–18 season of ICC&CS, and to a new season of selling ads for
the ACI program shell. Choruses members from last year will remember that we
made over $10,000 through this important fund raising effort, with chorus members
of the three groups selling ads to over seventy businesses.
We need everyone’s help again this year, with a deadline of Friday, October 20 for
completing the process. You can download the forms you need from this newsletter
(“Advertiser’s Agreement,” “Introductory Letter for Advertisers,” and “Instructions
for Sale of ACI Ads”) but you can also pick them up at rehearsal, along with sample
program shells from last year. I’ll be on hand to sign you up for the businesses you
want to approach. You can also email me directly to let me know:
kkg1@cornell.edu.
The more people who participate in this process, the more money we make. And
there are some other carrots: if we boost the participation rate of ICC&CS, we may
win our director, Gerald Wolfe, the gift certificate to Hickey’s. In addition,
individuals who sell ads to the most businesses or who make the most money will
also receive gift certificates—nice ones!
Please do start thinking about businesses that would welcome a chance to show
their support of ACI choruses if asked. Remember: no business will buy an ad unless
it is asked to do so. Who can you ask?
Contact me if you have questions, or if you want to let me know by email what
business(es) you will approach.
Many thanks!
Katy Gottschalk
ACI Coordinator for Program Shell Ads
