Silent Auction Update – Treva Beard
A few more items being collected; permit in place; have raffle tickets
Silent auction average = $2,000
Silent auction ends at 7 p.m.
Raffle items will be included as handout at registration.
Photo copies of gift certificates will be displayed.
Items strong this year – more tangible items and baskets, fewer gift certificates
Will be putting minimum bids in place.
Some of the items will have to be bundled into theme packages to enhance the bidding opportunity.
50/50 raffle tickets are $1 each – raffle ticket sellers need change also and money bags
½ of what we collect goes to us, ½ to winner
Occasionally remind MC to announce raffle
Goal: sell 600
Stop selling at 6:30, draw at 6:35, will write on winner’s board. If not claimed within 15 minutes will redraw. Three chances to have a claimant, then will stop and take all funds.
