charliesmumI was trying to find a Shakespeare quote about money, but didn't.
Anyway...Long story short, The Collingswood Shakespeare Company really needs money, and our president wants everyone on the board to cough up $300.00 each. I don't have $300 that I don't already owe other people, but she wants us to hit up friends and family for it if we can't donate ourselves.
I'm just not comfortable doing that. How can I ask people to give me money for something that doesn't affect them at all?
She says 'no excuses' on this, but I really don't know what to do. I'm doing my best to set up fundraisers, but I can't just beg money. So, any suggestions on how I can tactfully ask for donations? Didn't think so.
Meanwhile, the stupid township is giving us a hard time, because for some reason they think Collingswood begins and ends in the two blocks on Haddon Avenue where the resturants are. They want us to hold the play on the street. Stupid.
It's the whole 'Arugh, Shakespeare = High School English Classes' mentality that we're trying really hard to change. They don't ask the stupid town musical to do it on the bloody street, so why are we different?
