My opinion is that it's OK to require the members to find a certain number of donations for the silent auction, but requiring them to buy a certain amount of tickets, etc., defeats the point of having the event. If you are just going to collect money from the sisters, then ditch the event, have everyone make a $300 donation to ZTAF and be considered personal major contributors.

Please talk to EDV regarding your concerns - it appears to me that the spirit of the event has been overshadowed by the costs and maybe the whole planning/running of the event needs to be revisited.
