Commerce Update
General Status: Commerce Club is requesting a visit at DBA and to attend upcoming events.
- Targeting Fall Festival + Celebration of Learning
Perks: As it stands, Commerce will sponsor DBA as an organization under their "Helping Hands" initiative. We will be given 50 tickets to sell at a price of our choosing. Commerce will provide the venue, 1 drink ticket per patron and small bites.
Logistics: This event will be held in the main bar area so that other Commerce Patrons can partake if they wish; potentially bringing in additional sponsors (they will not be included in our 50 person count); Working on a deal in which we will get a percentage of the bar spend for the night.
