We're excited to share this "Idea of the Week", submitted by either the MAiZE staff or one of your fellow siteowners. There never seems to be a shortage of ideas and the truth is that some of the best originate with all of you! So, if you ever have an idea you'd like us to pass along to the group, please just send it our way. Also, please remember that we'll be archiving these ideas on the siteowner web site, so that you can go back and view them whenever you like.

When the Going Gets Tough...
|
|
This week’s idea comes from Daniel & Jessica Guffey in Kokomo, IN. Only in their second year as MAiZE owners, the Guffeys have been very creative and determined in making their operation a success! This strategy for how to overcome some of the hardships facing school budgets is just the latest example of that.
The following is a fax blast page that we are using to solicit field trip scholarship donors. As members of our local chamber of commerce, they fax it out to every member for us. Our governor changed the way our schools are awarded money, so most of our area schools have lost their field trips budgets. We've had a good response so far with this approach. We just sent it out this week and have already had 7 businesses respond, sponsoring 12 classes. We expect an even greater response over time.
Thought maybe someone else can use this idea. Hope it's helpful!
