I agree with Misty and Teri-if you could let us know how short we are/how much we each need to buy in raffle tickets/bar, etc, that would give us an idea ahead of time so we can watch our budgets
I would much rather spend a little extra on raffle tickets and win something cool, or have a few drinks at the bar than just kiss my $ goodbye
Let us know what we can do to help so this isn't all on you. We appreciate you organizing and coordinating, and want to do everything we can to make this meetup FUN!
