Speaker 4: that we're going to do, and we'll start out with
Speaker 4: one that we could go for twenty five cents. On
Speaker 4: your table will be a rambow if you want it.
Speaker 4: After we show you, you put a quarter in the dish,
Speaker 4: you raise that paddle. You got to have that paddle
Speaker 4: up or it doesn't count. And then if your number
Speaker 4: is called, you get that for a quarter. Oh and
Speaker 4: these gifts have to be at least twenty five dollars.
Speaker 3: A value of twenty five dollars.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, yeah, and if.
Speaker 4: It's more than fifty, then we auction. Oh yes, but
Speaker 4: if it doesn't go for the first quarter that you
Speaker 4: put in, a person puts in. If your numbers not
Speaker 4: and you want to bid on it again, you put
Speaker 4: another quarter.
Speaker 6: Just that rock I just heard about, right.
Speaker 4: I told her about my rock my first Civitan paddle party.
Speaker 4: There was this rock that I really wanted. Will I
Speaker 4: think it was because I didn't want the other lady
Speaker 4: to have one of those I.
Speaker 3: Shouldn't have said.
Speaker 2: This happens.
Speaker 4: So I just get bidding, and I paid forty five
Speaker 4: dollars for a rock. But it was a real pretty
Speaker 4: rock for your garden, and it is still in my gardener.
Speaker 3: Yes, job, yes, that's good. Okay, where were quarters?
Speaker 2: You go for an.
Speaker 4: Auction auction, okay, or if it doesn't go for three
Speaker 4: times times, then you have I've done about right. So
Speaker 4: there will be several auction gifts, because I've got one
Speaker 4: already that a person gave me for it. So oh okay,
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's it's just wonderful. And then we have
Speaker 4: eat six thirty. We're going to open up the doors
Speaker 4: of six thirty. We will have eats there. You can come,

Speaker 2: cents to two hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: That's a good well, I mean the paddles.

Speaker 4: So because we ran out one time when we were
Speaker 4: doing it downtown, Yeah, we had to close the door.
Speaker 4: We had too many people in the room and we
Speaker 4: didn't have enough paddals. Oh no, And so they actually said,
Speaker 4: you know, you need to find a bigger place and
Speaker 4: more paddles. And so that's why twice a year, that's
Speaker 4: why we do them twice a year is because it's
Speaker 4: such as such a big deal.
Speaker 6: Such a big deal that year at the Elkslides.
Speaker 4: Then yeah, and the big Yeah, it's the big room

Speaker 4: Oh, but it's I mean getting all your baskets together
Speaker 4: and getting the tables all set up and getting your
Speaker 4: baskets lined up and how you want it. And then
Speaker 4: we have to talk about a list because we have
Speaker 4: to mark off when that basket goes and so we
Speaker 4: can keep tracking what we're doing.
Speaker 6: That would be a good idea.
Speaker 2: Tony, keep that clipboard handy.
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm curious. How many baskets do you usually get.
Speaker 4: We have usually enough baskets, like a hundred we've had.
Speaker 4: I don't think we've had quite a hundred, but this
Speaker 4: but tonight, I would no, baby of the second, I
Speaker 4: would say we'll have at least that maybe. So Yeah,
