Last year's Plant Auction was a great success. Since it worked so well then, I'm in favor of a repeat performance. If Sam needs more lead time than next Thursday's board meeting would allow, then you have my vote.

Last year we spent $375, including boglogs, so I think this would be a similar budget. - Erik On Wed, 15 Jan 2003, Sam wrote: > Would like as much lead as possible.
