Hi Adriana, I have been raising money for special events by holding a silent auction. Ask staff or family and friends to donate items in good condition that they no longer need. Place about four or five items on a table .Have a sheet of paper for each item with description of item on top.Underneath have two columns.One headed "Name" where bidder writes their name. 2nd column head "Your Bid". Bidder writes in amount they would be willing to pay for that item. Next bidder does same on next line. Each bidder can bid more than once if someone has outbid them and they really want it. .THEY THEN GO DOWN UNDER LAST BIDDER ON NEW LINE AND MAKE A HIGHER BID AND SO ON.LEAVE IT UP FOR ABOUT A WEEK.THEN COLLECT UP AND HIGHEST BIDDER PAYS FOR THAT ITEM AND KEEPS IT(WHEN THEY HAVE PAID for it)This has been very successful .
I love Golden Carers it is a fabulous resource. It has made my life so much easier, so that in turn does wonders for my clients. The work that you put in to helping us all is wonderful please don’t give up.
Is it worth the money? You betcha it is. My clients love the quizzes and we have many laughs and it opens up many a thoughtful discussion on life as an older person. I thank you so much when l am stuck for ideas l just jump onto GOLDEN CARERS. Have a great day and keep up the great work.
