Dave, since it was never followed up on, I don't think any one knew
that we were looking for some one to chair it. I was suggesting a very
simple thing. Bring any item to the picnic that you are willing to
donate, throw it on a table and we start the bidding at a certain time.
All the proceeds go to SLAGA. Bernie

I haven't checked the forums, but I recall that no one stepped forward to chair the auction and thus it was dropped for lack of interest.

- Mike, I suggested an auction for the last picnic, but no one even replied to my idea. It would cost us absolutely nothing to put on and we would make money at the same time. Oh well. Bernie

****************************************************************************- Looking at the quarterly newsletter, I noticed that we need $$$$. Since I am a new member I am unaware of what our typical expenses are. Of course the website costs money but what else?
The newsletter indicated that there may not be enough money to cover events like our picnic. Shouldn't the cost of the picnic be completely covered by those who attend? I have belonged to other groups like this where we have used these events to help raise money. Is $6 enough to cover the cost of a family? In the past in other clubs we have done things like auctions or raffles at this type of events. Nothing really planned - people just bring stuff to donate and we bid on them or sell raffle tickets and all of the money goes to the club. Just some ideas to make giving money fun.
One other thing from the newsletter - who are our current officers? I can't find it on the web page. Thanks,
Mike (tollybrew)
