Starting this month, the authors of “Going¦Going¦Gone!”, the guidebook on successful auctions for non-profits, will distribute a free e-mail newsletter full of information, news, tips and tools about fundraising charity auctions.

- How to obtain and utilize volunteers.

highest amounts.

- The role of the computer in the modern auction.
- How to close an auction efficiently and avoid long lines at checkout.
- The role of the internet in event fundraising with leads to the best sites.
- Tax, insurance and legislative updates.
