There's been great feedback about Silent Auction. Here's what we know: some people love it, some people hate it, it's a ton of work and it makes a whole lot of money.
Looking forward, the ideas for what it could be next year are wide open. We could do it exactly as we've done it before. Or, we could mix it up.
A lot of people seem very enthusiastic (based on our completely unscientific, talking-to-people-in-halls-and-volunteer-room kind of poll) about shaking things up a bit. Could we make this an adults-only event? Could we have it off site? Could we have music or entertainment? Could we find a way to provide child care while parents enjoy a fun night out? Other schools nearby have gone this route and had great results.
No decisions have been made . These are simply questions that have been asked. But without chairs of this event, we can't really move beyond the questions to creating a plan.
So, um ... at the risk of sounding horribly redundant ... anyone wanna chair?
