This year Frost International will be hosting a benefit for veterans this festive season. We're teaming up with her business partners and a few small businesses to run the event. There will be a silent auction on the night, a four course meal and entertainment following. The event will be held on the 30th November.

Tickets are on sale at the Hilton, where the event will be held, we're still taking on staff for the event and you'd like to apply there's a link on Frost International's website, you can upload your resume there.

Any donors wishing to give something for the auction can contact me directly.

	We would be delighted to have something. Now, what would you like to contribute? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not sure, really. There is the standard writing a large check, but that's rather boring. Is there anything you are lacking or need? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

While big checks are very nice, they do get tired, and we do like when other people donate.

Depends on what tickles your fancy. The silent auction is full of weird and wonderful things. We've got a few establishments donating experiences. I'm not sure what an escape room extravaganza is but there's three of those, a pampering session for adults at the Mirami massage parlour, and because this is California there's two discounted plastic surgery prizes.

So I guess whatever whacky idea you might have could fit.

	Hmm. I auctioned a date with yours truly before, and I do hate to repeat myself. I'm fairly certain I have something in my collection that I can donate to be auctioned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That might be a danger to your safety around here. Something you wouldn't miss isn't bad. I do know someone donated a boat. A small boat, sure, but it's still a boat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private _lightbringer_ 2019-11-08 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	I got accused of prostitution. Some people here are far too sensitive. Oh, I think I can do better than a small boat. Give me a few days and I'll have something for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private anancites 2019-11-08 05:12 pm UTC (link)
	Well that's highly presumptive of them. A date is hardly the guarantee of sex. Your competitive streak better not mean we're auctioning off a hotel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Precisely what I said! Then they compared the event to slave trade. Honestly. I worry for the creativity and inspiration of the upcoming generations. Haha! I'll not go that far. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private anancites 2019-11-08 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	They do realise that 1. you chose to do it that, and 2. they didn't have to participate? I'll be honest, there's such a thing as too liberal. Great, because no one has offered business classes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private _lightbringer_ 2019-11-08 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	Agreed, darling! I have to admit. Through this brief exchange I'm finding that I like you. I was thinking more along the lines of a vintage car or a painting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private anancites 2019-11-08 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	I'm decidedly likeable. Unless I'm pissed off or in the process of destroying someone. That would be decidedly generous. And easier to showcase. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private _lightbringer_ 2019-11-08 05:33 pm UTC (link)
	That only makes me like you more. I suggest we meet over a few drinks. Give me a few days to decide what I can part with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private anancites 2019-11-08 07:17 pm UTC (link)
	Well, we will have to meet in order to discuss your involvement and invitation to the event. Yes, do make sure that you're happy to entirely part with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private _lightbringer_ 2019-11-09 02:43 am UTC (link)
	I look forward to it, darling. I'll be in touch. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What kind of staff you looking for? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	anancites 2019-11-12 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	Wait staff, caterers, bar tenders, coat attendants, valets and seating attendants. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think I might have a few things for the auction. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Private anancites 2019-11-12 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	That would be very generous, and warmly welcomed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private hairbender 2019-11-12 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	I think, among other things, one of FI's new street legal sports cars. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Private anancites 2019-11-13 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	We might need to auction that to a select group, I'd hate to have someone somewhere try to sue either of us because they can't handle such a car. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	spider_bite_me 2019-11-11 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	What kind of staffing? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	anancites 2019-11-12 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	Wait staff, caterers, bar tenders, coat attendants, valets and seating attendants. The usual. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can totally do the wait staff thing. ~~Probably~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We'd be happy to have you. The event is on the 30th of November, you'd likely have to work the full night. Starting from 7pm to 3am. Pay is $15.50 an hour but you'll also make tips. You'll be fed and have free drinks (non alcoholic) and we'll pay for your Uber home.

[website] Send a CV or fill in the form there, and we'll have a contract for the night sent to you.

Sound good?

	Thank you. That sounds fantastic. Will I have to provide my own outfit? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You will, but something black and inoffensive will be fine.

Flat shoes might be best unless you're comfortable in heels for hours, I'm being encouraged to tell staff not to wear anything too risque, but I feel like it's a little hypocritical. On the flip side, some of these men aren't the most ... mannered, and I'd hate for staff to feel uncomfortable because these idiots can't follow social cues.

	I think I've got something that will work. I don't really do heels, I spent enough time on my toes in dancing, but I've got a really nice pair of flats that are appropriate. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This is very kind. I don't have anything to offer for the auction but I would like to donate my time to help with the event, if any help is still needed. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	anancites 2019-11-20 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	It's the least we can do for all that we're given. Do you think you'd be able to help set up things at the event? (Reply to this) (Parent)
