Dear wine/spirits supplier:
Hola! We cordially invite you to participate in our upcoming event - a great opportunity to promote your business/organization and network with a diverse (predominantly Bay Area Latino Professionals) crowd of corporate, community, and government leaders and professionals.

We anticipate an attendance of over 2500. We will promote this event through the internet, flyers, and Bay Area media. Our past event was very successful; approximately 900 people attended our Tequila & Cognac Tasting / Networking Extravaganza at the San Jose Museum of Art on Thursday, September 20, 2001 (only nine days after the September 11 tragedy! Please visit www.muybueno.net/tequila for more info). Note - we are planning to host similar events every quarter at various San Jose venues.

 

Our caterer, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme (PSRT) will provide a no-host bar, and the liquor license, for this event. The tasting will feature Brandies, Cognacs, Rums and Tequilas, and will be hosted at the San Jose Scottish Rite Center. We will provide banquet tables, linens, and 1 oz plastic cups. We will also recognize your product and company on our website and in our event program. We encourage you to distribute literature and promotional items (shot glasses, t-shirts, key chains, etc.). The location of the tasting tables at the venue will be selected by lottery at 5 pm on the day of the event.

We request a nominal (negotiable) participation fee per table for this event and would appreciate you donating something for the benefit casino game prizes (please read below).

Corporate Sponsor Opportunity
Please contact us to discuss becoming a corporate sponsor. As a sponsor, we will mention your business in the special emails, website (banner ads), and event program. We will also post your banner in a prominent area at the event. You will be recognized and given an opportunity to address the crowd during the presentation. The fee also includes sponsorship of our monthly Bay Area Professional Socials and job listings and/or business advertisements on our website.

Opportunity to donate Casino Prizes
At our casino, guests will buy muybueno.net play money ($jingles) and trade them for raffle tickets to win prizes donated by your company. 100% of the game and contest proceeds will benefit the three non-profit organizations we are supporting. Following is a preliminary list of the games and contests:

- Duel w/Darts or Bow & Arrows
- Monte Carlo Casino: Blackjack, Craps, Roulette
- Hot Wheels Racing, Wheel of Fortune, Bowling
- 3 Card Monty, 3 Cup & Ball Monty, Tic-Tac-Toe
- Safety Pins in Rice: Contestants search for safety pins in a bowl of rice within allotted time.
- Harina & Candy: Contestants take turns slicing parts of a mound of flour w/a candy on top. Let the candy fall and you must pay a fine or grab the candy with your mouth!
