[moor...@aol.com]

We're in the home stretch! Several events are done, and it looks like
things are coming along. Thanks to all those who have written asking
for ideas, and those who have shared them.

Here are some ideas for events still to come that have been popular of
late:

1. Hold a Silent Auction! Here's a highly successful idea... I read
about events raising $2000 and more from silent auctions!
