[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is the auction less weird? I would think the public display of wealth that is inherrant in auction participation would be ickier. [/quote]

it's a silent auction.  No one knows what I spend.[/quote]

Well the auction committee members know, the person doing the thank you notes knows, the person handling checkout knows.

I posted before - but the more i think about it the more this annoys me.

So, you spend money to get something (and let me guess, you're paying less than value?) but you won't flat out donate money, even though you donate more than $2K/mo on charities?

Yes.  Everyone associated with the auction knows.  And they're also the same people who know you're not contributing to the student fund.  You look cheap.

You are coming off here as cheap.  Frankly I'm not sure i believe you contribute $2k/mo to charities, if you won't give your PTA (whatever it is called), which is made up entirely of volunteers who work their asses off to create a better school for your kid, a few hundred dollars.  Do you volunteer your time at least?  Otherwise you just come across as a freeloader.

When my chid was at an east of the park school, the entire PTA budget was around 5K.  you want to "feel better" about giving money to your school?  Donate a chunk to a small east of the park PTA and make their lives easier.  [/quote]
