Many thanks for doing such an incredible job once again! You have been a huge factor in our success the last two years, and we very much appreciate having you as a part of our team.
We are extremely happy about the Fund a Scholar number, the live did much better than last year, the raffle tickets sold out very quickly (next year I hope they all sell out before the event!), and the super silent auction was very successful.
Overall, we were delighted! Melissa and I will miss working with you next year, but hope to see you sometime in the future! We have really enjoyed it.

If you hold an online auction leading into a live event, what is the ideal duration for a small — 25 item — online auction. Items will be carried into the live event unless they sell for the Buy It Now price.
Thinking 10 days, but wanted your expert opinion.
That sounds good, Olivia. As I’ve talked with online auction vendors, I’ve heard anywhere from 7 to 14 days mentioned. For my clients, the auction often ends the Thursday night before a Saturday gala.
