VFW District 14 Trivia Fundraiser
Q: When is it?
A: 22 Feb. Doors open at 6 and trivia starts at 7.
Q: Where is it going to
be? Why is it there?
A: It will be held at Sparta VFW Post 2698
because it is relatively central to the District and has enough indoor space
and parking to comfortably host this year’s event.
Q: Do I have to be a VFW
member or Auxiliary to participate?
A: Absolutely NOT! Everyone over the age of 21 is invited!
Q: How are we going to make
money?
A: Teams will pay $120 to sign up, we’ll have a
silent auction, run at least one 50/50, and we’ll be selling mulligans (a "free
pass” for questions). Additionally,
we’ll be selling snacks/food (we’re still in the early planning stages on
this).
Q: What is my Post
responsible for?
A: We need every Post to ADVERTISE! In addition to the trivia, we are going to
host a silent auction, so we would ask each Post to provide at least 2 items
for the auction—as always, WORK YOUR COMMUNITY. Additionally, we need each Post to sign up at
least 1 team (preferably 2). We’ll have
enough space for 30 teams, so get ‘em signed up before we’re full!
Q: Other than that, how can
I help?
A: We’ll need:
- 3 people to be
graders/scorekeepers
- 2 people to
conduct (monitor) the silent auction
- 1-2 people to
register folks when they arrive
- 2 people to
sell 50-50 tickets
- If folks could hang out
afterwards and help with clean-up, it would be greatly appreciated.
Q: Are there prizes?
A: There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd,
and 3rd places (TBD).
Additionally, we’ll do "last balloon standing” where there will be a
bonus question each round. If a team
gets it wrong, the helium balloon on their table will be popped and the team
with the last balloon will win a prize (TBD).
Q: Can I bring my own
food/drinks?
A: Participants can bring their own food (NO
COOLERS), but they must purchase drinks from the VFW. There are plenty of non-alcoholic options
available and we do not want to risk losing a liquor license by bringing in
outside beverages.
Q: How do teams sign up?
A: In order to streamline everything, we ask
that teams sign up online using our Google Form. There is a QR code on the flyer and a link on
the District 14 website.
Q: How do teams pay their
entry donation?
A: Participants can use our Venmo account (link
is on the Google Form, as well as the District 14 website) or can drop off a
check at any District 14 VFW. If a check
is dropped off at your post, please be sure to get that to our Quartermaster,
Cathy Stubbs, NLT than the date of the event.
A courtesy email to Jill (commander@mascoutahvfw.org)
is also appreciated.
