OK - full disclosure; I am a disaster at organization, planning, maybe execution and can barely use this PC. Have good big picture, vision skills, with compelling hand motions.
-Lets nominate a leader after weekend
-We need a designer (silk screen or etch our Forum Logo onto something)
-We need someone (w/o gambling habit) to set up a paypal account (takes like 90 seconds)
-One of the moderators/owners will have to mass blast a secure paypal link with both contribution options ( an dislocusre that this is not spam)
-We need an inside guy to get us total count for both groups (add maybe: 1 supply team leader at suppliers: Roush, Saleen, Mayflower, Ricardo, Lear):
-Number crunching: (had a drink already)
-Plant: donations total $500-2500 assuming half of us (500) give from $1-5. At 40 employees, (Ford spokeswoman Anne Marie Gattari said about 40 people make the Ford GT) ~ $30-60 per gift, Monogramed Polos wholesale with Persons name & FORD GT Owner/Team Member Logo. Read 400 workers could be total too, at which we might have to go up to $20.
-Ford GT Team: $6750 if 275 members donate @ $25; ~$200 gift per ~35 Ford GT members
-These are gross: so have to factor in cost of base item, paypal fees, logo?, and shipment/insurance
I could be talking nonsense, as have no idea on promotional gifts, lead time, & logistics.
But, I do know a gift goes a long way....esp. 8 yrs down the line when we are trying to find that little bolt and one of these guys remembers this great gesture and makes a call or two!
