Do you have a hidden talent? Would you like to help support budding plant ecologists?
If so, I would like to encourage you to donate an item to help support the Plant Population Ecology Section Silent Auction that raises funds for graduate student stipends to attend the ESA meetings. In the past, we have only solicited donations from members of the section (and bids from the rest of you), however this year I would like to open it up to all ESA attendees who would like to help support this worthy cause. Items from auctions have/could include: ceramics, pressed flowers, jewelry, homemade jams or syrups, paintings, rare books, crocheted or knitted items, etc. etc. Plant-themed items ideal but all reasonable/interesting donations accepted. Look for our booth next to the ESA sales area. 100% of proceeds support students! If you would like to donate items, or have queries, please contact me. Anna A.
