SPONSORSHIP PASSPORT TO THE KINGDOM 2009 Harmony Kingdom Convention
Registration Deadline for Sponsors is August 15, 2009.
Dear
Harmony Kingdom Dealer or Sponsor:
Another Big Day can be yours!
The HK House of Peers (HOP), in conjunction with Harmony Ball Company, is hosting PASSPORT TO THE KINGDOM, an HK event October 30—November 1, 2009, in Newport, Rhode Island. HOP is hosting Harmony Kingdom collectors from all over the country as well as the UK. Just imagine having 125–150 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 Another Big Day, the early bird figurine, please read on.
HK artist Peter Calvesbert and his family are attending the event. The weekend is filled with many activities for the delight of the collectors and to raise funds for charity. NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) and the Potter League for Animals will be the benefactors of our efforts. At the previous Orlando event, HOP was pleased to raise $33,000 for charity.
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 fundraiser's, and/or 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
Another Big Day,
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; with donations for our fundraiser's; and with items
for the Goodie Bag. We have three levels of support; each has a different criterion for qualifying and
receives different benefits.

If there is an attendee representing the dealer/organization, the picture
of the representative can be included in the slide presentation;
And lastly, all Premier Sponsors
are included in a drawing for a prototype of one of the event
figurines.
Each year we have people who go beyond any expectations with their generosity. HOP has few ways to show our appreciation. So people who contribute in excess of $1,000 in donations to the event are recognized as a Premier Sponsor with all privileges, plus a 1/2 page ad is provided at no cost.
The Event Program, where the ads are placed, includes all of the information needed to make the weekend a time to remember and is an important resource for attendees to have at all times, plus provides a reminder of the great memories.
Independent local clubs get a $10 discount off the cost of ads, if they choose to be sponsors.
We invite our sponsors to include a card or flyer in
the Goodie Bag for each attendee. Sorry, no sales or discounts.
It has been said that life's greatest gift may be the giving of joy to others. If you want to participate, please do one of the following:
