Host A DansDeals Seminar?
« on: February 12, 2012, 03:45:57 PM »
Does your local institution have space for at least 100 people and a projector and want to host a DD seminar on miles?
I'd be happy to ask attendees to make a small donation to the host.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Sounds like a great idea! Would you be willing to travel to the location?  :P
Do you already have a pitch and an idea how to market the event? Do you want us to bring in the audience or you just need the place?

Hatzlacha!!

Is this for DDF members or for anyone? Not too keen about the whole Flatbush/Lakewood/Monsey all getting involved in "the trade".

I would travel, especially to a place like NYC where it's just 9,000 Avios.
Just need a place, would attract the audience from DD readers.

Israel??  ;)
Maybe after I tried it domestically first.

It'll probably be more of a beginner/intermediate course, though I don't see why it can't progress further than that.
We'll definitely have to have a DDF DO afterward at any rate.

I think that the more posts you have on DD, the less it should be the entrance fee.
Side income is the most solid income... בדוק ומנוסה

I voted no :D
Find me a venue in NY or LA metro though (I'd be fine with a small cover charge going to a 501c3 host) and I'd be happy to give a seminar in person.
I believe the implication is a small fee that would go towards a charity.

Anybody friends with the Rubashkins on president st. or chezy deninbaum (rabbi of CAY)? That seems like an ideal place for a seminar. And they are huge balei chesed always letting people use their basement for events etc.
