What's a Stella and dot party?

MLM party. Like avon, but for jewelry.

Please keep these stories coming. My school does not hold an auction, and I'm starting to wish it did.

Omg, this thread is hilarious!

Our school offered a botox treatment once. No one bid on it.

I heard a school on the Hill offered a vasectomy one year.

This.

The reason why PTAs organize fundraisers is that people say this but often you don't see the check arrive.

"teacher feature" going for $5000+!
