So I'm the vice-chair for the Communities in Bloom fundraising committee. So far we've had two silent auctions that ran the duration of our last two meetings that raised about $165.
I know Dawn has lots of experience with this...any pointers? I remember the balloon popping thing that they had during the intermission of The Secret Garden we saw at Katie's school. That could definitely be put to future use here.
We don't really have a set budget, but I'm sure if we could come up with a few thousand dollars, it would go a long way. I see a lot of things being donated for this program (extra bedding plants, dirt, fertilizer...things that are worth more to us than their dollar value). We just need the 'seed' money.
I was just on a government website about hosting fundraising events and it gave me a good laugh. Some of the suggested prizes were: trip around the world or a new house, with runner up prize being his and her's Porsches. Uhhhhhhh, ok. Those wacky government fundraisers! Such a zany sense of humour. :/
No suggestion too small, let's hear them!
