[Organizers] Ideas for revenue BEYOND the door entry price

[Don Veino]

Our local venue has a volunteer running a "Skirt & Shirt" sale at dances to
benefit the venue. Clothing items are reasonably priced and they include
dance shoes as well. Exchanges are given a discount toward purchases. The
volunteer also prowls area yard sales and places like Savers & Goodwill for
stock.
