Also many members donate handmade items during the year too.
we dumped door prizes a few years ago. I don't miss them at all. I have too much stuff as it is. Btw, I hope the guild members SUPPORT the shops who donate. Shops are on tight budgets etc with with "online" shops infringing on their business. And for the guilds to go seeking donations from the brick & mortars ...please remember to give them some sales in return. Frankly....turn the $$ collected for door prizes into much need hurricane relief donations. Samaritans Purse is a worthy cause, for example. Every dollar helps!
