First I would like to say that I have never run a Silent Auction.
I have WikiHow on my homepage and every day it highlights one or two different explanations of how-to-do-something.....or make-something.
I find it all very enlightening and intriguing.

Anyway, today it has the Silent Auction directions highlighted.
How to Run a Silent Auction - wikiHow
I have seen several questions on this board about fundraising ideas and how to do them. I thought that this looks like fun.

This post is mostly just to say how cool and fun WikiHow is and what a tremendous resource it is.
