I would be worried that if limited on some items in the auction it is 
harder to track, creates more hassel.  I agree about limiting it to x 
number of people.

Basically if we do 50 people with bonus bucks at $10 each, that means it 
is $500 less that the convention makes.  I like the idea of bonus bucks 
and do think they are catchy, but in an organization where we are worried 
about do we have enough to do everything we want how much can we afford to 
do.  Maybe we do this for the first 20, or not at all.  I feel like a 
stick in the mud on this, but it is just one more thing for them to worry 
about.  Totally override me on this one....it is okay, my feelings are not 
that strong.  It is just when we are counting pennies giving away dollars, 
doesn't seem okay.  I know we think the convention should make money, but 
we are facing more hotel fee's on this one, and nothing is certain.

Anyway, I feel like such a naysayer here, but $500 is $500 of profit.

Okay, back to doing my online continuing medical education here...have to 
do that before Feb and not sure how much more time I will have!

Take care
Kathy
