Thanks, Bernie. I'm all for low tech! Everything else goes WAY over my head.
:)
I really appreciate your help.

- BWAT, I have it on my watchlist. I'll do the auction, but like I said
this morning it will be very low tech. I'm not an auctioneer, just trying to
help out. Bernie.

Bernie, what say you? Will you be in charge of the auction? At the
registration table, Pam and I can do the paperwork like you suggested. Then
after the eating part of the picnic, you can do the auction?
There are 15 people watching the picnic website. I am not one of them, but
do check it often. Which I figure alot of people do. So, I think people will
know about the auction. It will all work out.
So, I guess Tim will raffle off his battery charger to raise funds for next
years MOGA event.
Again, we are all just trying to work together in our busy schedules.
Thanks for everyone's help.
Bridget

I think both is a good idea. Yes it should have been talked about sooner
but there is just to much work to be done.
I think everything will work out ok!
If Bernie would like to take charge of the auction - that would be great!

- Tim, it should have been talked about all along. How can we make
money if the members don't even know about it. It should have been posted on
the event page since day one. Are you saying you want the raffle rather than
the auction or are you suggesting both. Bernie

Bernie it wasn't privileged information, it wasn't talked about until
today. That is since you brought it up a while back. The only thing I was
planning on was buying a battier charger and selling raffle tickets for it. I
like the idea of a auction but I think I would like to raffle off the battery
charger.

- Dan, it looks like 'they' have been or just started planning on
an auction, but it I guess it was privileged info that I was not in on. I tried
to get an auction going last year, but... and tried again earlier this spring.
After my email this morning it looks like a tiny little note was posted by BWAT
on the event page. I guess the people that have all ready logged in on the
event page probably will not see the note. Bernie

Bernie,
I like the idea of an auction ..I am 90% sure we are going to
make it and if we do I will bring an ammo box with log book and pencil as my
donation. My wife's family has done this every year at their family reunion and
they usually raise enough to pay for the food etc at the next reunion. Some how
we need to get the idea out to everyone coming though as not everyone is
subscribed to this list ....maybe put a small blurb on the picnic page itself
asking for people's donations.
Good idea

- Are we still having the auction? As we discussed before, it
will put a few bucks into our kitty at absolutely NO COST to us. I would be
willing to take charge, but don't expect too much. I have a very informal plan
in mind. Lay your donations on a specified table and have a "secretary" log the
items in or better yet, log it in yourself.. During the auction, the secretary
makes a note (on the sheet where the items were logged in) of who purchased
each item and for how much. After the auction is complete, we collect our
"winnings". Suggested time to hold this auction would be right after we eat. If
it's a go, bring any item (does not have to be cache related) that you are
willing to donate. Suggestions are: all types of cache containers, items that
could be placed into the cache boxes, fishing and hiking items, advertising
items or trinkets (bundled up in to individual baggies). In short, anything
that is collecting dust around the house. These are only my thoughts and
nothing is gospel. Let me know what you think. Bernie the Happykraut.
