Does your church group, scout troop, PTA or neighborhood group need some extra money? Neighborhood groups have sponsored fund-raising activities at the Art Fair-House Tour for some years now, and no well-run activity has ever lost money. By providing goods or services to Art Fair visitors, these activities have enhanced the Art Fair while they raised money for special projects and provided an opportunity for their particular groups to work together toward a common goal.
Last year an application/contract form was introduced which set forth the ground rules and gave the Art Fair Committee an idea of exactly what goods and services would be available. With such prior information, it was possible to (a) ensure that ‘no two groups would attempt to provide the same services or goods in competition with each other and (b) provide a check upon any group which had in mind an activity which might not be appropriate to the Art Fair-House Tour.
Only neighborhood-based non-profit organizations are permitted to raise funds at the Art Fair.
Application/contract forms can be picked up at the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council office or from Sue Tepas, 6141 McPherson, who will also try to answer any questions (862-3783). Closing date for receipt of application/contract forms is April 30th. Activities are approved on a “first-come, first-served” basis.
