The problem
Paper tickets distributed to families, sold for cash, tallied by volunteers late at night. Reconciliation is approximate at best.
Your auction prizes are only seen by people who walk into the hall. Grandparents in Lakewood and alumni in Israel never see them — or buy.
The class competition for top seller runs on paper tally sheets and trust.
