So I am thinking maybe we should start looking at fundraising for the 13th annual ball, the earlier the start the better. If anyone has any ideas, post them here.
Some ideas:
-Table Auction (multiple things per table, win a table you win all the services/items on that table)
-art auction
-50/50 raffle
-An idea we were looking as a possibility early last year but it never came to fruition but a casino kind of thing, explanation coming soon.

I'll have you know I'm scared to death...
...that everything that you had said to me was just...
...a lie until you left. A 50/50 raffle is the simplest.

Yeah a 50/50 raffle seems like the simplest idea, although if there's enough people an art auction doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

14Mushrooms What's a 50/50 raffle thing? Well, you sell tickets at a pre-determined price. Then you draw for the winner. The winner and the house split the proceeds 50/50. We do them at all the HS football games here. Sometimes we even discount if you buy them like 10 at a time. I also think an art auction would be good. I had a friend whose auction ended at 40 bil. I almost died...but yeh. They can get really pricey when the art is top notch.

Good luck to you buddy! I really hope we don't need anymore than the 40 trillion we have now, but it never hurts to be ahead of the curve right?

I remember a few balls back we would have both an art auction as well as an art shop, so I propose we do both again this year that way we can have two art threads rolling in gold.

...that everything that you had said to me was just...

In the thread I spent most of my time in, they gave more than that just for their contest prizes.

In the thread I spent most of my time in, they gave more than that just for their contest prizes. we didnt go over a trillion in gold let alone 40 trillion. We ranged between 700-800bil in prizes but thats because we had so many of them.

Guess I haven't gotten used to that word being used so often on the site. XP

Like I said I think we should prepare for the worst with inflation, it is better to have a strong cushion of gold than not enough.
I think I will go ahead on wednesday and set-up a 50/50 raffle to start.

Epcot Illuminations Like I said I think we should prepare for the worst with inflation, it is better to have a strong cushion of gold than not enough. I think I will go ahead on wednesday and set-up a 50/50 raffle to start. How many people do you think would buy a ticket? Also how much would each ticket be?

Art auctions seem to do really well. Or an art shop- Gaians generally love art!. I can help with bumping threads if needed. Alas, I don't have any art skills or I'd offer those services. sweatdrop My squiggles look like lumpy potato people. rofl
