Plant And Fish Auction - November 8th

TL;DR: Saturday November 8th, 10AM, Upper Gwinn Commons, Seattle Pacific University.
Park in the Dravus Lot.
Plants, Fish and other Live Things
Card or Cash

It's time for the GSAS Aquatic Plant and Animal Auction. All the best cuttings and spawns from GSAS members, plus another generous order of plants from Florida Aquatic Nurseries. This is one of our two main yearly fundraisers for the club, and pays for bringing in big speakers and our monthly rent.

For the third year, we are at Upper Gwinn Hall at Seattle Pacific University, same campus as our monthly meetings and Holiday Party. Click on Google directions above, or on the map to see details of the area. Please park in the Dravus lot to the Southeast. A very small amount of accessible Parking and load/unload space is available at the North side of the building as well. Outside food is not allowed inside the room...but directly downstairs is the SPU cafeteria and an Einstein Bros Bagels. Bring a water bottle!

Bidding starts at 10 AM, preview and setup at 9. We go until everything's gone (likely around 2 PM). Please read the auction guidelines for more information. If you are a member, please pre-register your items.

Remember, live items only! Please leave tanks, logs, CO2 equipment and fertilizer for April. Check Airstone and our Facebook page for updates and photos of the plant order and what members are bringing!

Non-members are always welcome to bid -- spread the news, print and hang the amazing poster from Amit! Volunteer to be a runner or recorder for a stretch.

Sellers: We are again offering 70/30 split in your favor. And for this auction, we are introducing Table One, a special table for your #1 item (make sure to put the item first when you pre-register it). Table One will be fully auctioned before any other items are sold or pushed.

Thank You To Our Donors!

A big thank you to everyone who came out in force to our record-breaking general auction this year, especially to all our volunteers who worked tirelessly the whole day. And a special thanks to the sponsor stores and national companies.

Our big auctions still remain the primary source of income from the club, and their success means we can pay our rent and Internet video storage bills, bring in top quality speakers, and have nice prizes in our contests throughout the year. Thanks again!
