I LOVE IT WHEN a PLAN COMES TOGETHER.
Tops of the Rockies Live Auction. Children’s library fundraiser.
THE EVENT
Ten decorated tables,
With enticing contents to be auctioned to the highest bidder.
I VOLUNTEERED
To create a table for the Ladies Golf Association
Joining me were; Mary Ann and Connie.
Our pre-determined theme- Top Shelf.
DONATIONS
-$130.00 for high-end liquor. Connie was able to use some rebates and coupons, saving us $50.00
-Antique crystal ice bucket
-Artist painted martini glasses, etc.
OUR PLAN
Or how do you make bottles of booze an attention-grabber?
After much brainstorming. Plus trial and error.
We created these tuxedo tent cards with drink recipes inside.
After googling eBay, etc., we set the table’s value at $450.00
REACTION
Surprisingly, our audience of 150 attendees really enjoyed our cards.
OUR HOPE
To bring in $500.00 for charity
BUT THEN
The numbers kept rising’
$700.00 , oh, my.
$1,000.00, oooh, la,la.
$1,400.00, Over the moon.
Our table brought in the highest amount. Next in - $1,100.
US
We’re full of ourselves. Hugging and high-fiving each other.
What a fun experience and so rewarding.
I love it when a plan comes together.
