Holly,
What you described is exactly how it worked at my daughter's school auction. They wanted to control everything and are very stingy about giving out the tickets. I did attend both the ones I participated in but I found that the way they had set things up I had very little opportunity to associate myself with the sample that was displayed on the easel.
I had one of the richest families in town with five kids buy my first portrait. I was not, after several phone calls, able to ever do the work. I think it could have just as easily gone the other way with some other family. It's a bit of a crap shoot I think. It's got to be better than doing nothing I guess.
