21. Silent Auction Committee 2012 Guide

22. Five Categories of Success • Trips and Travel • Dining Experiences • One-of-a-Kind • Wine/Spirits • Boys Toys

23. Categories to Avoid • Jewelry, Furniture, Artwork • The stats do not support jewelry, most 30-60% yield. These are all subjective categories • Bring in items with broad appeal • Be cautious of business services • Attorneys services, doctor, dentists, professional services. Services don't sell well • Home decor, clothing • Electronics are great and you can use them in a raffle, but they need to be cutting edge.

24. NEW! Themed Baskets • Themed Baskets • League members will be doing baskets for fundraising credit, value of items in basket must retail for $200 • Cupcake • Car Wash • Yoga • Emergency Roadside Assistance • Family Game Night • Scrapbook Crafts • Wine Lovers Basket • Golf Lovers Basket • Teeny Bopper Basket

25. Why do people give? • People give because they are asked. • Because the right person asks….warm connection, feel accountable to the person. They won't tell you no. • Peer Pressure, some people give because they know their peers give. • Guilt • Because some people care about what is going on in their community
