Two comments:
1) {Re: Greg's suggestion} Is it possible to make a few of the silent auction items, live instead? Some of the bigger items?
2) Greg - what are y'all doing the 18th of Sept? We've got a silent AND live auction we are going to. Alan tends to limit my bidding, but somehow he's bid on new tires for the Cobra, an exquisite handmade quilt, Cowboys tickets, etc. I do way better when he's not with me - a day with the forensic unit in Garland, and a really nice present for our upcoming 10th anniversary. So it'll be much easier to convince him to "let" me bid if I've got company.
