Ameraucana Fundraiser Auction
Mike Gilbert:
Shakti, is your black bantam a male or female? I'm looking for a female or two and could probably have someone bid on it for me. I need to make a cross to re-invigorate the brown red bantams. I'll be seeing a bunch of you at Columbus.
Sharon Yorks:
Thanks, Clif!
DeWayne Edgin:
Sharron. Is there going to be any fundraisers in Columbus?

Not to my knowledge. I'm not planning one.

Normally "fundraisers" are only done at our National Meets and it is something the District Director coordinates. In the "old days", when the treasury didn't have much extra money to put toward awards at the National Meets we relied on the extra income from these raffles and silent auctions to help cover the cost of awards.
In recent years, with a healthy treasury, there are times when we don't have any raffles/auctions at our National Meets.
When it was up to me I went with only silent auctions, so no one had to take the time to sell raffle tickets. When I go to these annual shows I like to have the freedom to walk and talk, so I don't volunteer to man a club table and don't ask others to. Members like Michael Muenks, Neil & Donna Townsend and the late Patty Pickard are some that spent many hours manning the tables. ;)
