"The secret to producing a great fund-raising auction is simple. Just remember you are in show business. Show your guests a good time, lots of attention and brand new ideas in party, production and procurement. Then, run everything else on a strictly business basis and you'll have more fun and financial success than you ever dreamed possible!" -- Dick Friel
