The HK House of Peers (HOP), in conjunction with Harmony Ball Company, is hosting PIRATES of the KINGDOM, an HK event April 11-13, 2008, in Orlando, Florida. HOP is hosting Harmony Kingdom collectors from all over the country as well as the UK. Just imagine having 220 HK devotees in one place for a weekend! And, we have a way that you can receive an event exclusive limited figurine. For more details on how you can get Rocky Road, the early bird figurine, please read on.
HK artist Peter Calvesbert and founders Noel Wiggins and Lisa Yashon are
attending the event. The weekend is filled with many activities for the delight of the collectors and to raise funds for charity. The National Alliance on Mental Illness and the Florida Baptist Children's Homes will be the benefactors of our efforts. At the previous Phoenix event, HOP was pleased to raise $28,500 for charity. The Event Program includes a complete agenda, times and locations, donors, sponsor ads, and other information to make the weekend a time to remember. The program is an important resource for attendees to have at all times and provides a reminder of the great memories.
As a Harmony Kingdom dealer or sponsor, we are offering you an opportunity to
participate in this event, even if you cannot attend. You can
advertise in the program, make donations for door prizes and the
fundraiser's, and/or add to the Goodie Bag received by each attendee.
It is a win-win situation for all involved. For the collectors, it
gives them dealer/sponsor information; for HOP, it provides funds to host
the event and raises money for charity; and for the dealer/sponsor, it gives
direct advertising to those who spend the most money on HK.
HOP recognizes the value of our sponsors and wishes to reward those
who provide significant support to HOP and assist us in making it a charitable weekend, as all profit from the event is donated to
charitable organizations. We are offering a limited number of
Rocky Road,
the early bird figurine, to sponsors who contribute. As a sponsor,
you receive benefits based upon your level of participation.
You can help in three ways: through purchasing advertising space in
the event program; by donations for our fundraiser's; and by items
for the Goodie Bag given to each attendee. Your benefits relate to
