The silent > auction could work, but we'll have to schedule that in too. Neil and I have had some exchanges about holding a silent auction. He suggested that I take charge of it. I told him that I was tentatively willing to run it, but before I committed myself, I wanted to talk to some people who had experience in running them. I e-mailed Janaine Banks because NEC used to have them at the annual convention. She explained to me that they had given up the practice because they were such a hassle. They now do "cash and carry" auctions like they did for the dry goods. They are easy to run. All you need is an auctioneer, runners, people to move the items forward, and a treasurer.> I would be willing to head this committee and line up volunteers. Neil thinks he can get FAN to donate $100 - $200 worth of aquatic plants.
