[Penguicon-Concom] I know it's early, but I'm already thinkingabout this...

[Molly de Blanc]

Are we planning on holding a raffle and an auction? If so, do we want to ask
GoHs to donate to both of them>

 

And, if you want, Shay, I'll contact them all for you.

 

FY,

Molly

So... I'm planning on running a raffle again for the March of Dimes at next
Penguicon (everyone was awesome and we raised over $600 for the charity) and
I'm looking for ideas.

So far, I'm planning to see if any of the GoHs would like to donate an item
to the raffle, and anyone from the dealers room.  I'm thinking about selling
tickets Friday and Saturday and having the raffle at like 8pm Saturday
night.  If winners do not claim prizes by some time (trying to decide if I
should make it like midnight Saturday or sometime Sunday morning) then I'll
pull more tickets for the unclaimed items but winners will have to be
present at the 2nd pull.  Does this make sense? 

I have some random thoughts about the raffle going on in my head, but does
anyone have any suggestions... ideas for items or random other neat ideas to
get people TO the raffle?  Things were disorganized last year because I
threw things together at the last minute, and I want to make things 8
million times better at the next con.  :)

Hate to be a killjoy, but don't you have to have a special license to hold a
raffle? (state law) I think my church has to when they have their festival.
Granted we did it last year without, but there is no need to expose
Penguicon to any liabilities. Especially considering there is plenty of time
from now till Penguicon. Perhaps March of Dimes could help you out?
