Or if they can't think of anything to bring. If I can get there I will not have anything to bring. I will donate for raffle tickets. That is all OK right?
If I had one of those dunk tanks, I'd bring it along. You know what I mean, a seat suspended over a big tub of water. Throw a ball and hit the bullseye and the seat drops which dumps the seated one into the tub. We could probably collect a lot of donations for each ball and attempt. I know I would want to have enough balls to be sure I dunked certain people. Maybe those who claim to love water will volunteer to be the dunkees  .
I remember years ago my school had a fair to raise money and they dunked the teachers. It was the biggest attraction at the fair. |
Gilligan - I'm on the fly so forgive the short answers but...
The announcement says
"please" in reference to the request food; it doesn't say "you will" or "you must" and that's
only in reference to the food.
Yes, it's free for whomever would like to come.
No, you don't have to bring a dish.
No, you don't have to bring anything for the raffle.
No, you don't need to even buy a raffle ticket.
To the best of my knowledge no one has said they aren't coming or were told not to come because they couldn't meet any of our non-mandatory standards.
People who have declined coming to the event have note that they had something else on their schedules...no one has said, "I can't bring food or I can't bring something to raffle, so I can't come," or did I miss something?
Did I do something wrong by trying to help organize this? (This is an honest question.)
P.S.
This is also my first forum fest. I'm just the chickie who wants to meet all y'all after being on this board for 4 years!
P.S.S.
Gilliagan - if YOU want to get in that dunk tank, I'll buy a ticket or two for that!!!
