Make a list of the sort of party or event you are planning. If you want to have a pancake breakfast (and who does not love those?) then you need to make a list of how many people will be there and estimate how many pancakes they will consume, as well as how much butter, syrup, and so on. This will help you understand how much to ask for and from where.
Look up stores in your area that might be able to help. Most large chain stores allow their stores to donate food to local charities in moderate amounts. Even smaller local stores may be able to donate food for a party if given enough lead time. That way you can thank more people and stores when you give thanks.
ASK for the stuff on your list.This is the part that makes some people balk. But if you do not ask, you will not get. Bigger stores will have no problem saying yes (or no) and not be personal about it. This is what they do. Smaller stores will give what they can. Always be polite and very thankful.They might say NO this time but YES the next.
KEEP lists of the stores you have asked for donations so you do not keep going back to the same stores too often.This will make sure you do not wear out your welcome. You can also see if any of your group's members have contacts with the local stores and see if they might be able to help.

How to Start a Shooting Range BusinessIn Feburary 2016 25,
In Feburary 2016 25,
Contact your local government office about zoning laws for shooting and building permits. There are a number of restrictions regarding where you can open a shooting range, the times you can operate it and what you must have in your range.
Determine if you will start an indoor or outdoor shooting range. For an indoor range, consider opening it near a shopping mall or downtown, if zoning allows. You will need room for at least five shooting stalls, room to host classes, bathrooms, a showroom for your rental guns, room for T-shirts, hats and any guns for sale, and room for your cash register. Expect to need at least 3,000 square feet. For an outdoor range, you may want to purchase land outside of city limits or in a rural area. You will need at least two acres for your outdoor range.
Incorporate your business and obtain a federal tax identification number.
Purchase at least $500,000 in liability insurance (see Resources).
Determine the types of services you will offer. An indoor range may have a pistol range, rifle range and paintball, which is a great way to draw in the younger crowd. Both indoor and outdoor ranges may offer firearm safety classes and training for those seeking a concealed carry license. You can offer group classes, events and parties for birthdays, coworkers and bachelors and bachelorettes. If you decide to offer group events, contact a local pizzeria or deli and ask them about catering. Consider putting in vending machines, because customers may spend hours at your range.
Apply for a Federal Firearms License to buy and sell firearms. Expect to pay about $200 for a license, plus $90 for renewals (see Resources).
Become knowledgeable about guns and shooting, if you are not already. You should know details about each of your guns, how they handle and for whom they are appropriate. If you do not have a background in firearms, consider enrolling in the NRA Basic Firearm Training Program. Once completed, become an NRA instructor, unless you intend to hire instructors to teach your classes (see Resources).
Purchase your equipment and supplies. Buy handguns, rifles, paintball guns, paintballs, masks, earplugs, safety goggles, ammunition, targets of various sizes, trap and skeet targets (for an outdoor range) and cleaning supplies (see Resources). Purchase custom T-shirts, hats and infant bodysuits with your logo to sell to satisfied customers.

How to Host a FundraiserIn Feburary 2016 18,
In Feburary 2016 18,
Pick a theme. Before holding your event, choose a theme that will represent your cause. If you're raising money for an international adoption, bring in food and decor from that country. If you're trying to raise funds for a charity, come up with ideas that tie into your cause. Even the invitations or fliers should reflect the theme of your event.
Create a budget. Remember that you're trying to raise money, so you are going to have to work within a pretty tight budget. Ask vendors in your area if they would be willing to donate food, raffle prizes or other items for your fundraiser. Some may not have anything to donate but will give you money towards your cause.
Prepare a menu. Depending on your cause, you need to choose between a casual menu or a formal dinner. Some great fundraisers have featured a barbecue, while other successful events have included a 5-course meal. Since you are working within a limited budget, your menu will depend largely on what you can afford to spend. You can have an elegant meal on a small budget just by shopping around at warehouse grocery stores.
Plan the entertainment. You should have something planned besides just a dinner. One great way to raise even more money for your cause is to have a silent auction or even a public auction. You can ask local vendors to donate items to auction. You can also invite a band to play or have a talent show. Try to do something that ties into the evening's theme.
Present your cause. With all of your planning for the fundraiser, it's easy to forget why you are inviting these people here in the first place! Prepare a short presentation about your cause, showing everyone why you are desperate to raise funds and how they can help.

How to Remove Trees for FreeIn Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Check to see if your trees are part of a city, state or federal program. Many areas have received grants for the purpose of planting and maintaining trees as part of ongoing efforts to promote natural beautification and air quality programs. Check with your local cooperative extension office to learn about such programs in your area. You also can ask at city hall or at a forest service office that covers your area. If the trees are near the street, it is likely that the city owns them and will remove them at no charge, if necessary.
Post ads, either in stores, laundromats or online bulletin boards, advertising free wood for anyone willing to cut it up and haul it away. Many people heat all or part of their homes with wood, and these people are often glad to get free wood in exchange for their efforts.
Call the power company to remove any unwanted trees that are near power lines. Most such companies have contracts with tree specialists in the areas they serve. If there is a chance that your trees are or will become problem trees, the power company will often remove them for you at no charge.
Cut down the trees yourself. You can either use the wood in your own home or you can sell it. Using this method not only removes the trees for free, but actually pays you to do so. You can barter with someone if you need help, trading some of the wood for assistance cutting, splitting and hauling.
Contact a reputable logging company about cutting and removing your trees. Many small companies will do this for no charge, provided there are enough trees -- usually 20 or more -- to make it worth their while. Be sure you know what kind of trees you have and their value. In some cases, the logging company may not only remove your trees but will also pay you. Check with more than one company, ask at your county extension office and ask neighbors for recommendations before agreeing to anything.
