Melissa,
Great news and thanks for letting us know! It would be great to hear any war stories -- what worked really well, what you will do differently for next year -- if you had the chance.
Its a day after our auction....What a success!! Most money raised ever!! Gotta thank all those who contributed to this board!! We could not have done it without you!! Thank you and see you all next year!!
Personally I would start networking and doing some research on how to run a successful fundraiser - general planning plus start making a list of places or contacts that donate.
Do you send out thank you cards to national donors? I think I read somewhere to send thank you letters or emails to all donors and even higher bidders? Just wondering what you do? This is my first year running our silent auction which is next week ill post results and the list of donors I received when the auction is over.
