Auctions Speak Louder Than Words

During the school year, Henry attends this wonderful playschool called Amazing Life Games. Each year they have an Auction and Family Carnival Day to raise money for the school. It's been going on for decades, and has grown to be a big annual event. Againt all common sense, the school put ME in charge of the event this year.

It turned out to be the biggest project I've ever handled in my career. And maybe also the most personally rewarding. We set out to raise 15K, and wound up raising 19K! It was a tremendous learning experience, great fun and a wonderful way to bond with other ALG Families.

Here's me and my friend, the deeply talented Carolyn Chang. This was the night before the auction as we set up the space and boogied to 80's hits.

The techno dweebies setting up the computers and database for check-out.

It's never too early to teach the kids the principles of marketing.

Auction Day!
