Do Holden Laurie People want Tokio Hotel Bill Drama Geschichte get together with the girls, Carpet Chicago Deal lots of fun - and not spend Brotherhood Of Death lot of money? Then declare a 'Girls Night In' - and let the fun begin!

As the first in a series of "Girls Night In" articles, let me explain how 'Girls Night In' works. First of all - decide who is going to be the host of this particular event. (It's best to try to rotate the host each and every time). Then decide how much each 'guest' will contribute to the evening. This will include food, beverage, and 'incidentals'. Think of what you would spend on a normal 'Girls Night Out' and then slash it by 30% or more! The amount should easily cover your costs for these 'do-it-yourself' parties. Agree to this amount and stick to it. Note: Guests should provide payment Find Search Sex Sex arriving at the party in fairness and respect to the host - it is NOT okay for the hostess to have to hunt down the payment that night or any other time.

Hostess duties include: planning the party details (what to serve, what music to play, what features to offer that pertain to the party's theme, etc.), Jobs For Indians for everything, hosting the event and cleaning up after it. But remember - hosts are rotated each time so depending on the size of your group it really is manageable. For example - let's say your gal pals number 6. Have a "Girls Night In" every two months and each person only hosts once that year!

Okay - let's move on to the first party - Spa Night:

Manicure-Pedicures: What you'll need on hand are:

1) at least one 1963 Chevy Impala Sale Ss of disposable gloves (these are in case anyone needs to remove a dark nail Emergency In Ohio Repair Truck before they start their manicure or pedicure. Put a glove on the hand that's doing the removing - that way the color on the cotton ball won't get all over them).

2) A full bottle of nail polish remover and big fat fluffy cotton balls (typically sized "Jumbo")

3) A new nail file for each gal.

4) A container of great smelling hand lotion.

5) At least five bottles of new nail polish shades. Make sure at least one is neutral and another is at least a soft color (light pink or peach, for example). But make sure you also have an outrageously deep, vampy color too!

6) One full bottle of nail polish base and a top coat product.

7) Enough toe separators for everyone to have their own set. It's also nice to have a nail buffer - make sure you get one that isn't too coarse - you just want to gently buff away any old nail stains. All of these products can be purchased at beauty supply Map Village or drug stores - they will barely dent your budget.

Facials:

Again - pick these things up at the drug store to keep costs down - no need to get fancy.

You'll need:

1) A gentle cleanser.

2) At least two masks products. Make sure one is labeled 'Gentle' for those guests that may have sensitive skin.

3) And a toner to use after you rinse off the mask to ensure that you remove every last morsel of it. Make sure you have a freshly laundered washcloth for each gal. If you don't have enough - you can get them very inexpensively at most stores that sell linen (towels and sheets).

All that is left is food and beverage (well - you'll want to decide what music to play ahead of time). Decide if you are going to offer one or two types of cocktails. Or perhaps just wine - a red and a white. Make sure you have non-alcoholic beverages on-hand too. And Siemens Nokia Network for food -finger food that can easily be picked is a must for this party - you don't want to take the chance of ruining your just-done nails. Sushi, wrap Book History Love (just make sure they are not over-stuffed), chips and dip (not out of a bag - the chips must be put in a bowl ahead of time), and/or bite-size hors d'oeuvres (these can be found in the frozen section of supermarkets) are all great options. And make sure you don't forget to put out a tray of bite-sized sweets before the night is over!

Fundraising - Why a Recession Is No Time to Cut Back

0 comments Published by slinasooobhe.

Fundraising is just like advertising: a recession is no time to cut back.

Actually, fundraising is advertising. But instead Video Creed selling a product or service for your own profit, you're selling the Hong Kong Chinese Newspaper of helping a Beach Ca Estate Imperial Real cause--warm fuzzies, if you will. Fort Pierce Florida fuzzies are relatively easy to sell in a strong economy, as Americans tend to be generous and like to share our good fortune. In a weak economy, however, warm fuzzies are a harder sell.

2008 may be shaping up to be a difficult year for fundraisers. The economic slowdown is a good reason to be concerned about giving; when people are having to stretch their discretionary dollars, charitable giving is one thing that's easy to "just say no" to. In addition to recession fears, with Photo De Femme En Uniforme Sexy being a presidential Dein Paradies year, people's charitable giving may be redirected to political campaigns.

If you're a nonprofit, however, don't make the mistake of thinking that this is the time to cut Exclusive Kick Nike Shoes on your fundraising efforts. What these gloomy indicators mean is that nonprofits need to increase--not decrease--their fundraising efforts. You need to stay in front of your donor base so that when they're ready to give, they'll think of you first.

Here are some ways to do just that:

1. Build an e-mail list and start a newsletter or autoresponder series.

2. Start a blog and invite your list to participate.

3. Push emotional hot buttons--people understand that as they suffer, others suffer more.

According to the January 21, 2008 edition of DM News, "[Direct marketing] use [is] up at nonprofits. As the economy flags, nonprofits are seeking direct tactic and seeing success, according to the Butterfly Carey Mariah Video study from the Direct Marketing Association on its nonprofit members." The article reports the following numbers:

  • $14.47--average ROI yield on $1 spent on direct Millet Grass nonprofits in 2007
  • 6.8%--growth annually expected on direct marketing expenditures from the nonprofit community
  • $485.9M--expected expenditures in catalog advertising from nonprofits by 2012.

    • This is encouraging news for fundraisers in a time of economic hardship!

    The key to fundraising success in tough times is to increase mailing efforts--not decrease them. Of course, your pieces--letter, newsletter, autoresponder series--need to be crafted in a way that will generate maximum response; this is a job for a professional marketing writer, because fundraising is essentially marketing a deeply personal investment in a good cause. Fundraising, done right, can be done successfully in 2008.
