The meal would be held on the brick-paved main street of the city of Athens, to raise funds for the food bank, and increase awareness of the persistent local struggle with food insecurity, as well as raise the visibility of the foundation. The logistical challenges were daunting, but the plan would unite the community around the common theme of providing for its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince then, Bounty on the Bricks has become a touchstone event that raises close to one hundred thousand dollars for the food bank. In \u003ci\u003eThe Community Table, \u003c\/i\u003e Athens County Foundation executive director Susan Urano translates her years of nonprofit experience with large-scale annual fundraisers into a step-by-step guide for development professionals, community leaders, and volunteers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUrano guides readers to consider when to mount a fundraiser, who the stakeholders are, what social and financial value the event will bring to the community, and how partnerships might augment the payoff. Using real-life examples, she explains how organizers can learn from mistakes and illustrates methods of team building, conflict resolution, and problem solving. Sample ideas, timelines, budgets, publicity plans, and committee structures round out \u003ci\u003eThe Community Table.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Cole Urano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080401180X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804011808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Swallow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Susan Cole Urano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448967049471,"sku":"9780804011808","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7974243f-e2d2-4a91-9aff-8c6059bd7cf1.jpg?v=1777261380","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-community-table-susan-cole-urano-9780804011808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
