NAPgA Rendezvous 2015 Country Store / Auction Fundraiser
In the past the NAPgA Rendezvous has done ok with its Auction Fundraiser in various iterations. Through the years there have been suggestions on how to best serve the needs & honor NAPgA's needs, donors and recipients...as well as maximize donations and fund raising. This year we hope to do even better in regards to funds raised by refining the process a bit.
Obviously ALL funds are more important than ever before in regards to our land access issues and we want to try to maximize our need to raise funds for our cause...while we still can. This is definitely a great opportunity to support the biggest fund raiser for the NAPgA as well as get some cool items and pack gear for a great price. Please support it and can.
So that all said...it has been decided that this year will be a bit different, a bit of a hybrid to past years. The plan is to sell donated items via our Rendezvous' "Country Store" (mainly) throughout the Rendezvous with SET PRICES...NOT via silent or sealed bid auction scenarios.
It will then be followed by what we hope will be a traditionally fun, lively and SHORT live auction Saturday night for any residual unsold items. In this way, we hope to make much needed funds and honor our donors as well as recipients better than ever before.
But...it only works if we ALL support it by participating as both generous donors as well as generous and committed purchasers!!!
________________________________________________________
GOALS:
a. Maximize and encourage donations year over year and maximize return for NAPgA to help fight land issues.
b. If items are not sold during the Rendy, there will be a live auction for all unsold items
c. Honor donors as well as recipients...Give seller a fair item for a fair price
d. Priority is NOT to give purchaser a bargain basement deal...this is not a place for bartering or haggling...it is a fund raiser for NAPgA
________________________________________________________
COUNTRY STORE...How it works:
• All items for sale are donated...NOT purchased then sold by NAPgA
• Items will be "IN the store" with SET prices...available for viewing and perusing at all times....honor system. Probably under a pop-up with sides etc.
• Sold at specific Store hours
• Again This is NOT an Auction or place for bartering or haggling...it is a fund raiser for NAPgA.
• Buy it when you see it! It may not be available the next time you return. Proceeds benefit NAPgA
• All items sold first come first serve; when they are gone, they're gone. (sooner the better)
• NO holding items
• Must be paid for at time of sale!
• All sales final...take it with you when purchased
--- This includes goat kids etc. They are yours to care for the moment you purchase them.
