Pulse: Shake the Money Tree

RO: "Shake the Money Tree" is organized by chairperson: event chair, volunteers chair, invitations chair, live auction chair — 15 chairpersons in all. I thought it would be easier to find a particular task that way. The tasks are listed in chronological order on my Web site ?(letsdoanauction.com).

Everyone involved should know two things: 1) how much you are trying to raise — not just the final goal, but a breakdown of revenue sources and estimated expenses; and 2) what the money raised is going to be used for. The awareness of these two things tends to motivate much more than, "We want to raise as much as we can, and the money will go into a general fund."
