Just thought that you would all want to know that Pearl Paradise has discontinued it's Giving Back Program

Rebecca, I just took an extensive auction planning teleconference course & the instructor told us typically you want half as many items as their will be wallets at your event. So, 100 couples = 100 wallets = 50 items. Scarcity breeds desire or something like that. She said you could go over that for school auctions so I'm not including Class/Teacher donated items in that magic number.

There is not such thing as enough when fundraising & still uncertain about some responses. Our event is 2 weeks away & we are still e-mailing, dropping off letters as we think of new places. So far we have just over 100 baskets put together and we will probably end up with 120-130 baskets plus door prizes. Good luck

At what point do you think you have asked enough places? We have contacted a ton, but with long response times, we may not have many answers until really close to our event. Thanks!
