[Sonar]Need volunteers at the Banquet - Key Raffle for Auction

[Ernest Brody]

This just came up.  If you are going to the Banquet, we need volunteers to
sell the keys for this item (see e-mail below).  There are 125 keys so if 10
of us sell them it is only a dozen keys apiece.  Please let me know by
return e-mail if you are willing to help.  (If the story isn't clear now,
just come and we'll explain, but volunteer.)

Subject: Key Raffle for Auction


WSF and WYC Board,

I have been able to secure keys from Benilde St.-Margaret’s for the key
raffle.  Meghan has a ring valued between $2500-$3700 that might be ideal
for this raffle.  If there isn’t anyone in the mood to spend $2000 on
jewelry, this item might sell for too little or not at all.  If we raffled
off 100 keys at $20 a piece, people might be more inclined to take a chance
and we would get a sure $2,000.  There are actually closer to 200 keys, I
just haven’t untangled them all yet to finish counting. The object of the
game is to have the winning key that opens a locked box with the gift
certificate for the ring in it.  (Ring would be on display).



My thought was to print a half-sheet on bright paper that can be handed out
at registration explaining the raffle as well as listing some of the great
items on the auction and their location in the room.  We would need some
“sellers” to go around selling keys (they are already on ribbons) until they
are either all gone or we are sure the winning key has been purchased.  This
could even go past 6:30pm if needed.

FYI – Benilde never filed anything with the gaming folks and they raise
about $140,000 at their auction every year!



Can we count on board members to sell some keys?  (I think several of you
guys would look fabulous with a bunch of red-ribboned key necklaces on
.)
