Time to Make Your List
So many items and so little time...Here are some auction tips to get you through the next 36 hours.
Make an excel sheet of your favorite items. Sort by numbers. The 100's will go in the first closing at 7:15, 200's at 7:30 and 300 and 400;s 7:45; then sort by "nice to have" and "must have".
No Hovering, but maybe bring some binoculars to see what bids are placed on your favorites.
Clean out your trunk. These classroom baskets are terrific and you'll want to make some room in the car for when you take them home.

Raffle Table
There are some great items available for a $1 raffle. My children shared their intended strategy for these items: "Drop your ticket in late, mom, so it's right on top." Lily Au has created a wonderful, creative King photo album that would delight any student now and even more so in the future.
