Greetings all. I would suggest that we do have a split for those who want it, and a 100% donation for those who wish to donate. You could have two types of seller numbers based on whether they took a donation seller's form or a split seller's form, or have a box on the top of the form which they would check. (BTW, anyone who fails to check either box is assumed to make a 100% donation to cut down on bookkeeping headaches). Then the only forms the Auction chair would have to worry about getting checks to would be those in the split file. And I would definitely suggest that we pay by check, and not at the event itself. That can be a HUGE headache for the treasurer, who would also be at the event to enjoy some of it, not just to work. I would also suggest contacting all of the major US and European manufacturers to solicit donations of plant related equipment for a raffle or auction. Just a few ideas...Have a good Holiday! Mike
