Auction donations from national distributors. Richard and Diane Elliott have volunteered each year to solicit donations to our April auction from national manufacturers and distributors of aquarium products. They usually send out letters of inquiry in early February, and receive donations at their house. We typically have one of our members (Steev, Meredith, or Susan) arrange to pick up from the Elliotts a "small van full" of goods shortly before auction day. Here is what I think is a complete list of the companies the Elliotts received donations from for last April's (2008) auction.
