[Organizers] Ideas for revenue BEYOND the door entry price

[Jim Thaxter]

One of our dancers has been bringing “yard sale” items to the dances and
putting them out on a small table. People can leave donations for items
they take. No items are priced. Whatever doesn’t have a new home by the end
of the evening goes back home with the donor. Items have to be in good
condition, usable, and people sign up to bring their items so we’re not
overwhelmed with tables full of last week’s yard sale left-overs. All money
goes the dance group.
