[nfbwatlk] Silent Auction Items Needed for our Fall Convention

[Denise Mackenstadt]

Mike has asked that I try to explain the Silent Auction and Family Feud 
Game.  After banquet activities are going to be a little different this 
year.  Hopefully, everyone will find it fun. A "Family Feud" Game is going 
to be presented with out convention mentees and mentors as teams.  Ben Prows 
is going to be the Richard Dawson type of MC.  The questions will be 
compiled from surveys which will be done throughout the convention by the 
mentors and mentees.  During the Game a silent auction will be taking place. 
A silent auction is done without an auctioneer.  Usually the items are of a 
smaller value.  Prior to the before banquet social tables will have displays 
of items for auction.  Each item will have a bid sheet attached.  Each bid 
will be of a minimum such as 50 cents.  The tables will close at different 
intervals throughout the evening.  You will have opportunities to check out 
the items and to bid throughout the evening.  This can be fun when two 
people have a bidding war.  Each table will have a mentor to help with the 
bid sheets and perusing the items.  If you have any further questions talk 
to Gary Mackenstadt or Kris Colcock.
