Summer Vs Fall/Winter for Fundraiser..

In summary, the conversation discusses using Fall/Winter catalogs for a fundraiser starting in August but ending in September. It is agreed that using the September date is acceptable and if the fundraiser is online, the closing date should be used as the event date. It is suggested to set it up as a catalog show and use the group name as the host or choose 12am as the start time to avoid confusion. The conversation ends with a clarification on the start time for online fundraisers.

I don't have enough Summer catalog for a fundraiser that will start on Tuesday and will end in a week or maybe 10 days. Is it okay if I just go ahead and use the Fall/Winter catalogs since I will be closing the show in September anyway?
 
Yes ma'am. That is definately what I would do :)
 
If it's a "September" fundraiser, then you should use the new catalogs. The prices are different and then they can get the new products.

I agree with that.

It is totally acceptable to use the September date even though you are starting it in August. Of course then you would only be using the September specials.

If you are putting it online use the closing date as the date of the event and don't send invitations out from the website so the correct guest special shows up.

I'd set it up online as a catalog show and use the name of the group as the "host name" OR use 12am as the start time so there's no confusion about when the event happens.

Thanks, Everyone. I will use the Fall/Winter catalogs then. What did you mean by 12 am start? I will probably close it Sept 2 or 3.

What I mean is that if you enter it on the website as a fundraiser you have to put a time in. No one will think you're doing a show at midnight. ;)
