Silent Auction at IOS Conference

By Ryan Russell | May 30, 2015

The upcoming IOS Conference for the first time will feature a silent auction. The proceeds will fund scholarships for students wishing to attend the 2018 Conference. I would like to ask members to search their libraries, collections, nurseries, or workshops to find items they would be willing donate to this auction. Any oak related item such as books, paintings, photographs, live trees, oak woodwork, etc. would be great. If you have items to donate, please contact me at russellry76@yahoo.com to make arrangements. Even if you are not able to attend, you may still be able to contribute. Thank you.
