on a similar note, we also have a coupon for 20 free doughnuts (= (or is it 50? i cant remember)

one way we have found successful for fund raising is looking for local restaurants that host events for NP organizations. We bring our robot it, hold a raffle, explain our team to those interested, and usually get $500 to $750 from the restaurant/raffle profit/donations.

another thing we sometimes do is picket outside of stop&shop or home depot or something like that, and explain our bot to those interested.

something else we do often are demonstrations to the various schools in our area, promoting the ideas of robotics and technology (and hopefully recruiting new members!). what usually happens here is that excited kids tell their parents, and then excited parents come visit us, and if they are still excited they talk to their company (sometimes).
