ESA's Plant Population Ecology Section is looking for silent auction items.
PPE's silent auction is held each year at the ESA annual meeting. It is one of the section's most important activities because it raises funds for student travel awards to help students attend the conference. The ability to support student travel next year depends on a productive auction this year. *But we need donated items to auction* Please consider donating an auction item to the section. Popular items from past auctions have included books, jewelry, pottery, hand-knit or quilted items, plant cuttings, and homemade preserves. If you plan to donate items to the auction, please email Nick Barber at nbar...@niu.edu. If you cannot attend the annual meeting but have items to donate, you can send them with a colleague. Last year's silent auction raised almost $400, and we hope to top that this year! Thank you, Lynn Adler - PPE Chair Jean Burns - PPE Vice-Chair Nick Barber - PPE secretary -- Nicholas A. Barber Assistant Professor Dept. of Biological Sciences Northern Illinois University 815-753-4215 nbar...@niu.edu<mailto:nbar...@niu.edu>
