I work for a school for deaf children and we've never really had an event such as the one we are having next month. I don't know how to word the acknowledgements for individuals and organizations who are purchasing raffle tickets, tickets to the event, and/or sponsorships. I know something needs to be mentioned about the taxable amount of their gift (but their check/cash/credit card payment is not supposed to be called or recorded as a gift- is this correct?). If someone has a sample acknowledgement that would serve my purpose, I would really appreciate a copy to get me started. This is the first time to really use the event module and so I'm learning new things as I enter each registrant. Any hints, clues, short cuts, ideas, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
