RE: [GSAS-board] Plant Auction

Erik,

Great input, as always.  It is nice to have someone looking ahead and
helping keep things on track.  I have a couple things I would add to the
list you have provided.
What day is the plant auction this year?  Will we have the entire room
that we had for the Christmas banquet or will we be in the smaller room?
We really need all the space we can get.  Will we have enough chairs for
everyone?  The chairs in the big room are really comfy, but, I didn't
see all that many of them.  We really need to let people know where the
auction will be this year as it is not in the Seattle Aquarium and that
may impact the attendance some.  Same issues may impact our General
Auction.  Maybe I am worrying for nothing, but, it never hurts to cover
all the bases early.  

Clay

Just wanted to check in and see what's going on for the plant auction. 
Didn't notice any planning in the board meeting notes, other than
getting 
the commons area.

First, is there an expectation on who's going to organize it this year?

The main reason I ask is that, though I'm willing to help as always,
there 
is a minute but distinct possibility I might be unavailable if the 
delivery is early...

The second reason is that we will still need to have a source for the 
plants.  Sam has been graciously ordering them from African Northwest
for 
many years, but he'd need to be asked reasonably in advance (Hi Sam!).

The third reason is that we'd need to get the computer situation worked 
out in a more orderly manner this year, i.e., a little more committment
on 
laptops folks will bring (instead of everyone kinda bailing in the end 
except for Paul), and a chance to try out some of the equipment,
possibly 
at next week's general meeting?
