Oaxaca Silent Auction Results

The fourth IOS Conference Silent Auction was a great success. I would like to thank all of the donors (see list below) as well as attendees who bid on these items. There were a number of really unique items this time such as original botanical illustrations from Rebeca Nowak, handmade acorn charms donated by Pre-Conference Tour attendees, IOS Caps, T-shirts, oak-leaf (Quercus sideroxlya) tea, and even an acorn carving from 5,000-year-old bog oak. We brought in a little over U$S 2,000, which will go towards student scholarships for the next IOS Conference in 2028. Thanks again to all who donated, participated and helped make this another successful event.
