Hi all,

I was wondering how you approached sponsors. Our situation right now is this: We literally have hundreds of engineering, design, you name it businesses within a half mile of our workshop. For the past two years we have all but ignored them. This year, we would like to tap into this resource (it could be very rewarding).

We have a long weekend coming up on October 17. We will have the 17th and the 18th (thursday and friday) because of teacher conventions.

Considering that we have over a month to plan and start to approach them, how should we proceed?

The two ideas we have had were to let them know in advance (maybe drop off an informational packet) or split up into groups and go door to door to these businesses during that long weekend.

What do you suggest?

thanks, Vivek
