Subject: SF Vegan Bakesale is THIS SATURDAY! An update!
To: Karin Olsson , Gabrielle Pope <

Hello Awesome SF Vegan Bakesale Bakers/Volunteers!
This is a long email so please bear with me and I apologize but there's lots
of info in here, mostly not crazy! First, I wanted to ask: *Can anyone bring
a table to the bakesale? Our usual source of tables is unavailable and we
need 'em! Please please please let me know!*
* *
As we plan everything needed to have a successful sale, we realize there
are a few things we still need & could use some help on:
*SIGNS!* We need to get traffic flowing towards our tables & that means
colorful signs! Consider silly things like, "Eat A Cupcake, Save An Animal!"
or "Bake Sale for the Animals". Anything people can see when driving /
walking by that looks nice / tempting is great. Also, we're attaching flyers
that can be posted everywhere and left at coffee shops, etc. Please help or
pass on to those who can!
*We could also use napkins, to-go boxes (!!!), decorative plates to display
items on, especially multi-tiered display options and most importantly,
large, stable tables. *
Have these items? Able to get them? LET US KNOW! If you don't have these
items, don't worry, we'll be fine! How can anyone be upset when baked goods
are involved?!
*One questions I've been asked repeatedly is how to bring your baked goods..
*
When bringing your items, consider putting some in saran wrap or
putting some of your items in bags. It's certainly not required, we will
have saran on site & many people will be eating there, but for those taking
items away, it will make things easier to sell & encourage people to take
things on the road. If your item is not something that looks visually
stimulating in saran, skip it!
Also, a plate of some sort to display them is nice, but not required. If you
don't plan to stay the whole day, please label any containers you need back.
Ideally, you'll come get them at the end of the day. Oh and volunteer Jackie
also made the attached signs that you can attach to your baked goods with
ribbons, if you'd like. We'll also have signs at the sale!
Don't worry about making a sign for your goodies, unless you want to
specifically advertise your bakery in them. We'll have colorful index cards
on hand for everyone else. Don't worry about pricing, we're going to
standardize it to make it easy!
*We'll be arriving at SpeeSee's at 10 am on Saturday to set up*. If you want
to come early to hang signs, make the table pretty, hang out and be awesome,
please do! *In case of rain,* the sale will still go on. It's forecasted
right now but we're hoping it doesn't happen or that there's a light
drizzle. If that's the case, we'll carry on. If it's really pouring, we'll
probably shut down. I'll try to keep everyone posted on this but just assume
that it's happening, rain or shine!
Finally, you'll all be assigned in shift as to when to deliver your goods
(you're welcome to hang out and volunteer, too!). If the time slot doesn't
work for you, just let me know and we'll figure out another one, no biggie!
We're so excited that you're all coming and it's gonna be amazing and we're
gonna make SO MUCH money for the animals!
xoxo
Laura, Karin, and Gabrielle
p.s. Tell everyone about the bakesale! We have tons of delicious vegan baked
goods (over 30 bakers!!!!!) and we need buyers! One thing, you can send our

invite friends and post it on your wall! Also, the flyers are attached so
please post, post, post (also, does anyone live near SpeeSee's and can drop
some off there? If so, let me know!)
