In answer to your question, I've thought about something very similar, but that's about it. We have a "dinner theater" event in March that we call the "Moveable Musical Feast" for our donors. I thought about seeing if we could add something like this to the "donor games" they play, but I wonder if the powers that be might reject the idea because it would cut into other programs the event is designed to raise money for. I've also thought about a concert series. Jeff Jeff Tanner, RPT University of South Carolina ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
