It would be much better to auction off the items. Auction for any of SAC's items would be the best way to do that, perhaps a silent one would be better/quicker. But why not expand/promote the Show/Tell section a bit to include anyone who brings something (not club stuff) to sell. I don't imagine that you'd have more than a couple of items every month, and the months that do have a large number of items would only make the meetings a bit more interesting, and most of that business could be conducted at the break. I believe that a less "informal" meeting setting would make them more enjoyable. Not that we should do away with the biz part, which seems to be much more under control now than last year, but keep the "biz" to a minimum. Does this add anything useful? Thad
