The Biggies and More...

 Judi and I have attended and volunteered at a number of fundraising auction dinners. These are a lot of fun and, of course, raise money for worthwhile causes. In the next few articles, I am going to tell you about two of the larger and more interesting fundraising dinners we have visited and about some of the funny things that we have seen at other fundraising auctions we have attended!

The Warren Michigan Banquet (Pre-Banquet Continued) ...

Inside the hall, commerce was taking place! This was in the form of RGS staff and Delta flight attendants selling special raffle tickets and manning booths where specialized games took place. The games consisted of various tried and true tests of skills or luck. The excitement of these games was reflected at the long line-ups to participate. The girls, who were mainly selling the special raffle tickets were also very popular. Guests were given a long “string” of theatre tickets. The number of tickets given were determined by the ticket sellers taking one end of the tickets in one hand and then stretched across their chest with the other hand. Participants gravitated to the girls that could provide the most tickets! This spectacle lasted for a few hours. As the dinner hour approached, Sam asked everyone to find their pre-assigned seats. The pandemonium turned to chaos as guests scrambled to find their seats.
