It's that time again for GSAS's main fundraiser, the HUGE General Auction!
As with our plant auction last fall, we are pleased as punch with our new venue space: 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 can be purchased directly downstairs is the SPU cafeteria or Einstein Bros Bagels. Bring a water bottle!
Bidding starts at 10 AM, preview and setup at 9. We go until everything's gone (likely late afternoon). Please read the auction guidelines for more information. If you are a member, please pre-register your items. The board has again approved a bump of the seller split to 70% (historically it's 60%)!
What will you find at this auction? Everything! Tanks, logs, CO2 equipment, boxes of stuff from people's basements, and of course FISH, SHRIMP and PLANTS! We've got new donations donated by our generous amazing poster from Amit! Volunteer to be a runner or recorder for a stretch.
Masks are encouraged but not required. If you have any symptoms of sickness, please be respectful of others and stay home. Similarly, be respectful of others' mask-wearing or distancing choices at our meetings.
SATURDAY, March 9th, 1:00 PM (noon social)
Home Show Video and Awards Presentation
SPU, Otto Miller Hall Room 109
Masks encouraged but not required. Please stay home if you feel sick or have any symptoms.
The Home Show meeting is always a member favorite, and this year we're presenting on a Saturday! Back at the start of February, a crew of four drove all around the Puget Sound area to visit eleven homes. Join us March 9th at 1PM, where we will first visit the eleven aquarist homes via a 56-minute edited video. We'll also show some great photos taken by the judges, who will present the top awards. You'll also be able to vote for Audience Favorite. The home show is a family event -- oftentimes we have "spot the ..." games for the otherwise-disinterested fish spouses and kids, dragged to the meeting by the erstwhile competitors, to play during the video!
After the presentation, join us for our Monthly Auction (sellers, pre-register your stuff here).
To whet your whistle, here's some clips we had to cut because the show was so darn long!
