The speaker for the evening was Vikki Aulie, owner of All for G0000000d, a consignment company for non-profit fundraising. She and her husband explained the different ways that her company can assist with non-profit organizations within the Metroplex area. Some of the ways they assist is through providing a variety of fine and art jewelry, autographed or framed memorabilia, and getaway traveling packages. Mrs. Aulie explained in detail that the jewelry is on consignment and is brought in by them, set up by them, and if it does not sell, there is no problem and no cost to anyone. One of the incentive programs is called a revenue builder. A revenue builder is when All for G0000000d provides a nice set of fine jewelry usually has a value of$800 to $1,500 and is placed in a case. Also provided are a small variety of earrings placed in earring boxes with numbers attached. The earrings can be purchased for about$10 to $20 (depending upon what the non-profit chooses) and one of the numbers is placed in a bowl.At the end of the evening, one of the numbers is drawn out of the bowl and whoever's number matches wins the fine jewelry from the case. One of the other programs was a Framed Memorabilia Program. There are sports, both college and professional, historical and political, and entertainment memorabilia that is available. To display these items, a wall grid is provided by the company and displayed wonderfully. Normally a History of Texas piece can have a $700 value, have an opening bid of$395 and have bids of up to $1,000 or$1,500. There would be a $295 reserve and anything after that would be for the charity. The third program that was mentioned in the presentation was a Travel Program. Mrs. Aulie explained that this program can be done as a live auction or as silent auction. One of the incentives with the travel packages it that there are no blackout dates and good for 2 years. To save on the cost of the initial trip, the packages do not include the airfare, but the company can assist with getting everything set up. There is a reserve amount and is usually set at an amount where the charity receives a fair amount. After the charity event is over, a report on what was sold and how much the reserves were for each item, is given to whoever is in charge of the event. OLD BUSINESS 3. Discuss ideas for fundraisers.
