[quote=Anonymous]There is also a tremendous amount of work that goes into this.  Its not just the cost of food and drinks.  There are volunteers working to get those donations, setting up, working during the event, managing all the donations, cleaning up.  So, even covering the cost of food and drink and decorations and entertainment is not counting the hours put in by volunteers.  Sometimes you can choose to attend an event or buy something at the auction (which you can do online) but not both.  If the group putting all the hours in for this has decided not to take a loss on the cost of attendance, after all they do to put it together I think it is a valid choice.  There are plenty of other social events at Janney where the cost is nothing and food is incredibly cheap - bingo, spring and fall picnics, parent potluck socials).  It seems like some want to be able to attend an event at a discount and then get items auctioned off at a discount all on the backs of volunteers.  The Met also got rid of pay-as-you-wish for out of town residents last year because no one was paying despite attendance increases.[/quote]
