Asha-Athens 2-5-08 Devaki, Aditya, Sara, Priyal, Prachi, Abhyuday, Uttiyo, Foram, Puja TICKETS - Sara to find out how much Morton Theater charges for selling tickets for one week (we print ticket) Prachi to find out how much if Tate sells tickets if we provide them and how much commission etc. Yash to email Murali the ticket template from last year. Yash, do you have the card board paper which we printed tickets on last year? Ticket sale at India nite? Kapil, can we set up an online ticket system with PayPal on the website? For tickets and donations. PERFORMANCES - Adi to find out from Sakshi about her dance group and if she knows any group which could perform Christie Moody - tango - will get back to Devaki soon ADVERTISEMENT - Sara to change time on MT (Morton Theater) website to 4:30-7:30pm Kapil, can you edit that on the flyer also? Also, add the website on the flyer and places where tickets can be purchased at. Priyal - brainstorm and come up with advertising avenues. Check with Red & Black, Flagpole, Radio advertising and/or covering the event - Magazines in Atlanta. Robin Raina Foundation's Lifeline (if they can at least advertise..or maybe cover the event) Do we want the Red & Black to cover a dress rehearsal so that they can publish that sometime the week of the show - that's free publicity. If yes, which day should we keep the dress rehearsal for? When we decide that, then we can approach R&B. Foram to find out about on-campus advertising along with Puja. Prachi to send her the ISL acct number so she can go ahead with reservations. We might also want to make another flyer a little bit later (after spring break maybe) with pictures of all dance forms we will be showcasing. DONATIONS/SPONSORSHIPS - Foram will modify last year's sponsor letters for this year's event. (Find them in the files section of the yahoo group and Yash's email. Let me know if you can't find it, I will email it to you.) Asha-Atlanta is sponsoring the Book Bank project, $2000. Donations from Friends of India (need to send information to Uttiyo so he can post a request for donations) Prachi Puja to type up the phone numbers of businesses and send it out. Prachi will modify the assignments of people to call/visit and send it out again, but as of now, if you want go ahead with your list and keep us updated. Or if you know someone or some business where you regularly visit or you think they would be interested in donating, approach them!

FOOD - Abhyuday has talked to his friend about 100 boxes of meals. Will follow up. Devaki to follow up with Lal Quila Priyal - Mirch Masala Prachi - Chopaati, Krishna Vilas Adi's Idea - we should serve snacks (samosas, brownies) before the show and meals during break. Raise revenue b/c samosas will surely sell. Btw, thanks everyone for coming to the meeting today and coming up with such good ideas. I esp am glad to have new ideas from Mr. MBA and Ms. Advertising :) Aditya and Priyal! Now we seem to be gaining momentum! Prachi
