I was thinking of posting all of my info of companies that have donated to our silent auction.
Why can anyone get on the computer like I do, Last year I emailed 8,000 companies, so far i have emailed of 2000. I get up every morning at 5:00 am and start looking up any company on the computer that has an email, or address, I get off the computer at 11:00am, do housework, take care of 4 boys, then go to work, when I get home around 11:00pm I get back on the computer till 1:00am.I took this postion as chair of silent auction, I give 100% of my time and energy. I belive in this good cause My kids.
After my auction this year in Nov.I'll give you the names of the companies that have given over the years, for this is my last year doing silent auction, my child is going to middle school. Thanks again terrim

I agree, I needed a nap after reading your post! It wouldn't make me mad, but I certainly would not expect anyone to do so much alone. While I love PTO and being involved, my home life comes first. I can't imagine spending 8 hours of that time on a computer a day. YUCK!! Out of 8,000 e-mails, how many responses do you average? If you're ok with it, then more power to you. Share the wealth and let us know. I would make a list of who I contacted last year and hand it out among other volunteers. Just my opinion.

Nice to see there are people as enthusiastic as you, terimga. I wished I had an ounce of your energy. Have you talked to your dr. about the lack of sleep you are getting? If I only got three hours of sleep per night I wouldn't be much of a mom while suffering from sleep deprivation and exhaustion.

We would appreciate all your info on responsive companies.

Melissa, I have emailed a few compnanies with no response. But many people on here have had luck with that.

Have you found great success in emailing company's? And do you have letter you send each of them?
