UPDATE on Feb 7th NEC BENEFIT

Great progress;  Thanks everybody, going backwards and forwards for all your energy:
1) Mike Arenson is on board, has asked for a meeting so that people can contribute ideas/expectations for music for the concert.  I've submitted a request for a meeting room this Sunday, December 7th, at 11:45 pm. 
2)Event will be billed as 'HEART OF NEWARK CONCERT' music by Mike Arenson and friends, $15, 7-10 pm Sat Feb 7th. 

3) TICKET PRODUCTION:  Anne Green and I go into high gear tomorrow (Th),  print out 160 sequentially-numbered tickets (32 pages on cardstock) tomorrow, cut them and punch/bling/beribbon the first batch to sell for holiday giving.  Great gifts for neighbors, friends, community-minded folk, and a great way to spread the word on NEC/CodePurple and give a meaningful gift at the same time.  We will also print out record-keeping sheets so we know who sold what tickets. 

3) UUFN TICKET SALES:  Maia and Tami have agreed to sell tickets at the Fellowship Table at coffee hour this Sunday, and hopefully on an ongoing basis.

4) COMMUNITY TICKET SALES.  We have acquired a contact list with e-mails for all the 8 members of the Newark Faith Community that comprise NEC/CP.  Anne has agreed to be the point person to do outreach/ticket sales for these organizations.  We hope to involve also: Temple Beth El, ISD (Islamic Society of Delaware) and
