SPONSORS
Sue LaCrosse reviewed the Become an Earle Brown Days Sponsor letter and form. Phil Cohen asked
Karen Youngberg to talk to members of the BCBA about the proposed sponsor sheet. Karen Youngberg
reviewed a draft of a letter she discussed with a member of the BCBA. Her proposal includes more
publicity on the BCBA and Earle Brown Days websites.
Kamau Larry said any exposure is good. From the business perspective, it needs to be in the face
constantly.
Sue LaCrosse said in one of the categories, an ad would take almost half of the donation. She suggested
we consider changing some of the donation amounts. She suggested we invite the Sun Post to attend the
November meeting. We need to find out if they have a commitment to doing an insert next year.
The committee made the following changes on the sponsor letter:
Changed Title Sponsor to $7,500 and added as the exclusive sponsor of the parade.
Put a value of $15/person for entry in the golf tournament, put a value of $20 for entry in parade,
and put a value of $45 for exhibitor space in Craft & Business Expo.
Added City Council Resolution Recognizing Sponsorship to the Major Sponsor category.
Changed the Sustaining Sponsor amount to $2,500-$4,999.

Changed the Community Sponsor amount to $200-$999.
Changed the Sponsor amount to $50-$199.
