My friend and Goddard MFA classmate, Tammie Burnsed, wrote a fabulous blog post about how to host a silent auction. From her experience raising funds for San Luis Obispo NightWriters, she shares tips and shortcuts to make your event a success!
My personal favorite of her many suggestions is, “Don’t think you can do it all alone.” I’ve long believed writing (and most anything in life) is a team sport. Silent auctions are no different.
Although Tammie was clamoring for cash for her writing group, these same principles apply to any silent auction effort.
Have you hosted a silent auction? If so, I’d love to hear your stories. Better yet, click through to Tammie’s blog and tell her all about it.
