It is going to be a smasher!!
Janie, if I might put in a suggestion, here in the UK at Mudcat events we hold a raffle! ,catters bring a prize that they donate, tickets are sold and the raffle drawn and a choice of prize is taken, Funds raised from the sale of tickets are then donated to the cause, overheads are minimal (books of tickets) and everyone can contribute a prize, at some Mudcat gatherings there have been almost too many prizes!!! I do realize this gives SINSULL and Jacquie a chance to perpetrate some of their Kitsch horriedifices on someone and everyone else the chance to clear the "white elephant" section of their home!!but it has always been good fun, the draw could be made during one of the Evening concerts when almost everyone is present, If you need info on how it is organised here PM "My Guru always says" as she has been the stalwart organiser here with her team of Menacing Ladies who extract money from everyone as painlesly as Jimmyt removes teeth. I for one would be delighted to contribute something to such an enterprise,
