[Capri25] Value of sailing excursion in Lake Minnetonka

[Carmen "CC" Velarde]

Keep in mind that the Mtka charters are in large vessels that are dishing out a ton of gas not mention catering service.  Unless I am mistaken we are talking about a Carpi here.  Not to mention you are dealing with parents who dish out quite a bit as it is during a recession.  
 
I suggested to start the bidding low at $20.00 (or maybe even $30.00) with the likelihood that it will reach $50.00 if not more.  You have to take into the "quality" of the ride ( no offense Lynne) and your market/audience.  
 
Now of course if Lynne includes Craiggae singing then of course you will have to start the bidding at $10.00.  We still luv ya buddy.

Whoa, Craggie,

Maybe $50 to $75 with you singing. But otherwise it's easily in the $300-400 
range.

Any boat charter on Mtka is going to be $100 per hour, plus a skipper, plus 
food to up the donation amount means you can hit $500 in bidding pretty 
easy.  While it's no big deal to us, it's a summer highlight for many 
people.

Much of it depends on the expectations of the silent auction and what's a 
normal big donation for that event.
