[quote=Anonymous]Middle-class family here, no financial aid. Have attended several auctions, and bought modest items on the 'silent auction' table--gift certificates at local businesses, etc. I have very happily applauded the wealthy families as they bid up the deluxe items on the live auction. I truly appreciate their generosity. If I had the money, I'd do the same. I heard at interesting thing from a law-firm partner at my school about some of the extravagant items--like dinner for 12 at a deluxe restaurant or a big catered reception at an art gallery. These items are purchased by law-firm partners, and used for firm or client entertainment. The partners are reimbursed for these expenses by the firm.[/quote]
