Sponsorship Dollars & Ticket Sales Generated for Pete’s

At the time this report was written, we had successfully secured and collected all of the $18,850 that was committed in sponsorships for the event. That surpassed the $13,750 we collected for our inaugural event last year at Hofbrauhaus. To date, we have sold/allocated 62 tickets to the event for a total amount of $3,600. Last year we sold a total of 65 tickets. We anticipate selling quite a few more tickets during the Convention and at the door to further ensure the success of our fundraiser and make it even more memorable. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to secure the sponsors & sell the tickets. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

We’ve Begun Planning our “Mini Convention”

This event is scheduled to coincide with the 2013 MCAA Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. (mid-May). We’re looking at possibly hosting the event and inviting several other “South of 40” type groups to take part from organizations like NCMA, BIA, and other stone supplier groups. The agenda is still in the works and so we’re open to getting lots of input from everyone on the topics they’d like to see discussed and the issues they’d like to see address. Please keep the timeframe in mind and certainly look for more information to come out about this event in the year ahead.
