Sandi Hughes with the Marketplace Cooperative, Inc. After introductions, the meeting got into the main theme of the evening, “Ways to work together.” Sandi Hughes illustrated several facets of making this work for a nonprofit charity, by collaborations, sponsorships and partnerships. Collaborations were described as the action of working with someone to create or produce something. Examples cited were marketing campaigns, fundraising events, even parade floats, where one or more groups come together to make something together for the benefit of both. The focus of this method is to get the names out to the public and be known within the community.
