Could use your help with ideas
Our quilt guild makes a quilt that we raffle off for the benefit of a local charity.
Our problem is that for the last 2 or 3 quilts, it has been like pulling teeth to get our members to take and sell the raffle tickets. Most of the members who take them, buy the tickets themselves. We also have the quilt displayed and sell tickets at the various quilt shows in the area. However, we have a terrible time getting members to volunteer to man the display. We are a pretty large guild, with over 100 members.
This is our major charity fundraiser, so it is important that we maximize the profits for the charity. Do any of you lovely people belong to guilds that do raffle quilts? How do you get people to sell the raffle tickets? Any suggestions would be appreciated, even if they are way out of the box. I am the chairperson, so this is a big issue for me and I am willing to entertain all suggestions. Thanks for all your kind ideas.
