Silent Auction Items Needed!

 We need your help in rounding up some awesome treasures for our annual silent auction. Hosting a silent auction at our meeting is one of the ways we support meeting costs, presentation awards, travel grants, and other organization action items. Please help us with this event by dropping items donated at the registration table when you arrive onsite. We can't wait for another fun event!

Travel grant awardees are expected to assist with small meeting tasks a(registration, help setup, etc.). Please coordinate at the registration desk upon arrival.
