Alright folks, time to get serious, Terry and I have figured a few things out and the Auction will open on TUESDAY May 27th at 8:00 PM and run thru June 4th. We'll be doing a few things different this year, details later so pay attention when we get rolling.

Thanks!!

I just assumed that the members of last years Cookie Corporation would start the bid at the spot it left off last year.  Heck I am still trying to remember if I am the leisure director or the liesure director.

We did have a BOARD meeting in TX. As I recall Tipit made a Toast, er ah a nomination that Skyler remain the Pres. Then I got drawn away on other issues. Whip "O" what happened after that??

I do remember Skyler being re-elected President.  After that I think the board meeting went the way most of ours do.  Eatin and talking about huntin.
 
As CFO I do have to report that the value of last years shares in the corporation have declined to be virtually worthless. Seems all evidence of ownership in MK, LLC has disappeared.
We are going to have to reissue all new stock certificates.  

I'll try to put together a projected budget.

Wahooo!  This is my favorite shopping spree of the year.  And to make it even more fun, I have a dandy bow that I'm putting on the block for the kids!
Speaking of the kids...I am in Memphis on business right now and directly out my hotel room window is big, beautiful St. Judes Children's Hospital.  Miracles happen within those four walls, my friends.  And as long as people continue to keep the hospital's mission alive through their generosity, they always will.
I can harley wait until we get this year's show on the road!!!

OK guys,

I saw the announcements, I looked at the four different forums, but for the life of me I can't see any difference in their content. Why are we using four forums for bidding?  :help:

The forums - 1 through 4- contain different items, and all start at the same time, but end different days....pay attention to the description of the individual forums in black lettering underneath the forum name.

I guess you missed the thread about having 4 forums....let me see what I can find.

""Had some chat and great input from Mitch Walker on the Paradise Hunt about how to get to $100,000 on the next auction.

I've kicked around his idea, and came up with a thought myself on how to go about it....gonna try and explain this the best I can, and I'd like to have some of ya'll input as to how you think it would work. I ran it by Doug this morning, and I think we are off to a good start.

OK...1st we make an 'Entry Forum' where all entries are entered, and a strong plea for all items to be entered before the auction opens. This will be open for listings by all members.

We create Auction Forum 1, Auction Forum 2, Auction Forum 3, and Auction Forum 4 that are all separate, and all have the same start date, but have a different end date. Auction Forum 1 will end, and a day later 2, and a day later 3, and a day later 4.

These will be a read only forums till its time to turn them on. Doug and I will move listings from the Entry Forum as they come in to the other 4 forums as we see fit, so that each forum carries a few of the big ticket items.....take for instance hunts...each forum would have at least one hunt, and then we'd start back over....same with other big ticket items...and separate knives, arrows, bows in the 4 forums.

This way if someone gets out bid on a hunt lets say, they can bid on another one the next day. Same with other items. This will allow folks to still have a chance donate even if they loose out on a particular item.

This will also allow those that have a set amount to actually get to donate again and again instead of loosing out on the single day as before.""
