Hi Clay. Thank you for the note. The board meeting will be this coming Thursday, 4-5 days later than Diana's time-line request. Personally, I don't remember to have discussed this issue at the last board meting, so I don't wish to say anything in particular without the board members consent. However, letters requesting donations to the various aquarium product manufactures are very important for our club's general auction. Maybe Rick or Bob has a better idea about it, and hope that they will answer you in time. If not, I would think that it is better to let Diana send the solicitation letters on time. Board members: any other suggestions?

I will let her know that she can expect an email from the Board, but, would appreciate one of you letting her know what the Club wishes to do for the April Auction. Diane has always helped with the General Auction by sending out letters requesting donations to the various aquarium product manufactures. I think she has done a great job in the past, but, then, that is just my opinion. Whoever sends a response back to Diane, if you could CC me on the note I would appreciate it, just so I know that it got done. > > So, with all that said, here is Diane's note: > > Hi Clay, > I have been getting ready to send GSAS auction solicitation letters to manufacturers, and it occurred to me that I should check to make certain that the club wants the letters sent, or if someone else is doing this. I need to send letters soon (this weekend) so that manufacturers will have time to respond. I would have sent them last weekend, but had to work at the Garden Show. > > If you do not know the particulars re the auction, do you know who I should contact? > > Thanks! > Diane > diane_elliott@usgs.gov > > Thanx, > > Clay > > ------------------ > To unsubscribe from this list, e-mail majordomo@thekrib.com > with "unsubscribe gsas-board" in the body of the message. > Old messages are available at http://lists.thekrib.com/gsas-board > When asked, log in as username is "gsas-board", and password "baba oreilly". > ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, e-mail majordomo@thekrib.com with "unsubscribe gsas-board" in the body of the message.
