My goal(at the suggestions of 4 wise women)with this blog is to open a community forum about fundraising auctions. Ideally this will be a place where you can share ideas, things that work(and things that don't), suggestions for auction items and possibly create new friendships and fun through working together.
I am happy to answer questions based on my 14 years of experience conducting Benefit auctions.
I will post articles and new ideas. Use them at will.
Rule number one:
Fun is the Goal. You will make money that way.

This is great, Amy! I hope all us auction organizers will benefit from your wisdom a little bit. To kick it off, I would love to hear other schools' tried-and-true sign-up party ideas. Any new and interesting party ideas this year?
Amy this is great! Here are some ideas to explore...
What's Hot & What's Not (e.g. cigars & brandy HOT, jewelry NOT so HOT)
Surprise/Secret Element (e.g. photos of the kids)
Fun Games
