That should be about a 200% profit on each can! sworrall Posted 7/21/2005 12:00 PM (#34439 - in reply to #34426) Subject: RE: Idea's for raising monies for walleye stocking program Location: Rhinelander We have had excellent success doing fundraisers by auctioning off products donated by businesses in the area and in the industry. Coupling the raffle/auction with a top line informational seminar with a couple recognized experts and charging a modest admission works well. jerry Posted 7/21/2005 12:55 PM (#34443 - in reply to #34424) Subject: RE: Idea's for raising monies for walleye stocking program Member Posts: 2567 Location: Manitowoc, WI To add to the seminar idea: donated trips with live auctions usually bring some good cash too.

Our first project is trying to come up with $15,000.00 for equipment to sample the OTC markings, our state funding is limited, so we want to donate this equipment to our DNR. We are trying to build a bridge between our anglers and the DNR. And I beleive this is the first step. Doug Burkhead
