Thursday June 11th

George Campbell (Anne of Green Gables Store) had to decline the sponsorship of Maud of cavendish at Green Gables house this summer because of a slow start to his season this year. he called last night to say how sorry he was.

We would like to announce this sponsor on June 20th. Because of the lateness, we should target a person with whom we already have a relationship.

Any other ideas of a business who would like a presence in Green Gables House?

I will speak to Blair Macluachlan this morning, but it is a long shot.

Large poster at entrance to Green Gables House
Exclusive posters (10-20) throughout National Parks
Full page in 16,000 playbills available for free throughout Cavendish
$1700 worth of tickets to all shows including opening nights
Large poster at Cavendish corner
Name on our website and online box office
Speaking opportunities at opening nights from the stage
Private parties invitation with cast and board
custom designed extras (product placement, etc)
