The first speaker of the meeting was Steve Hamann, our auctioneer for the Sunset Soirée. He gave us tips to get the most out of the silent auction. Consider alcohol; it always sells well be it wine, beer, or liquor. "Opportunities" sell well, especially if it is for a group of four or more people; think tours, excursions, parties, etc. Think of the items you would want. Our buyers are just like you. Remember that items only bring in 55-60 percent of actual value. Try not to spend money for your items, ASK for donations, be specific! Group no more than 4 items in a basket.
