Here is my latest gripe. What the hell is it with fundraisers? $100 a person. $35 to get in. $150 per person includes dinner. What in the world? Who pays these prices? And then there is usually some over priced auction or some "worthwhile" guest speaker.
With sooo many organizations holding these things, who can afford to go to all of them? The CEO of CAT and the hospitals?
Heck, I can't even pick one..it'll break me before I get in the door.
Seriously fundraising people. Think if you dropped your lofty "cover charges" you could attract more people. Heck, I'd go to more of them if I wasn't made to feel like yours was the only fundraiser that was worthy of my cash. Or maybe you charge this much so people like me don't show up? Maybe that is it.

Better yet. Don't ask for money. In my 10 years on the Peoria County Board, I never had a fund raiser. I did accept $100 from a Democrat friend and free printing of my one handout from a friend.
