Folks who are organizing this - a suggestion. I really think you will make more money with a silent auction than a raffle. A person might buy say $20 of raffle tickets, but if there is an item offered that they "must have" - they will go much, much higher. Didn't we do it this way once before? All it takes is a piece of paper for every item, and a continual reminder during the bid process that "it's all for a great cause." Either way - I will be there if I can. Please tell me again - when and where? Thanks!
