[OMS_MANAGERS] Your Main Street Weekend Getaway Gift Basket swap

[Sarah Lu Heath]

We have an event that could benefit from this – we’d be interested in doing an annual swap, but probably not more than that. Donor fatigue and all.

Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] Your Main Street Weekend Getaway Gift Basket swap



Would anyone be interested in a Main Street Weekend Getaway Gift Basket swap.

Albany Downtown Association has an upcoming fundraiser called Mixology Madness on March 17. It’s a fun, stylish evening centered around a cocktail contest with sampling. Most of the cocktails are made offsite by local restaurants, smuggled to the event and blind tasted by judges and attendees. This year, we’re adding a live bartender contest as well.

Another piece of the event is a silent auction. This is where the idea of a Main Street Weekend Getaway Gift Basket swap would come in. Our committee thought a fun silent auction item would be a weekend getaway basket from another Oregon Main Street. Ours would look something like – Lunch at Novak’s, a growler / tap house stop, Dinner at Sybaris, Pix Theater movie tickets, Night at Dawson House B&B, Brunch at Brick & Mortar, Albany Carousel tokens, Regional Museum certificate, etc.

We’d work with the other Main Street to make sure it’s equitable. We can discuss a physical swap or create a graphic display and exchange the various certificates electronically. If multiple managers like this idea, we could look at a way to swap around on a periodic basis, so we’ll have a pool of different Main Street Getaways.

What do you think? Anyone want to build a Weekend Getaway to your Main Street and do a swap?

Thank you,
