Preview Party Before the Event
by John & Maureen Winter

For the second straight year our client school in Atlanta has gained from a pre-auction cocktail reception. Charging prospective sponsors twice the regular ticket price, these individuals were invited to a pre-auction party featuring champagne, appetizers and a preview of the silent auction. All the spouses were accorded a corsage and parking at the hotel was complimentary. Almost one-third of the guests took advantage of this higher level of sponsorship. The preview party was a great success on many different fronts:

It raised a considerable amount of money without any expense.
It relieved congestion at registration
It opening bidding in a more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere
The sponsors thoroughly enjoyed their elevated status
