"board" in this case refers to gsas-board, which is a list for the board 
of directors.  The poster accidentally included a footer from the private 
list in the public posting.  But anyway...

Guess there hasn't been an announcement yet:

The annual GSAS Plant Auction is just over two weeks away! It will be held 
on Tuesday, February 8th, 2005.  If it's like previous years, bidding will 
start at 7:30, and there will be a lot of items to get through, so be 
there at 7 to preview items.

We're purchasing several hundred dollars of wholesale plants from our 
friends at African Northwest (which means the plants will be Florida 
Aquatic Nurseries stock -- a good thing!).  ANW is also supplying us with 
some bogwood.  We usually sell a fair amount of member-grown cuttings as 
well (sometimes can outnumber the "pro-grown" plants).  We usually try to 
give some descriptions of the plants as they are sold, i.e., light 
requirements and difficulty.  Expect the full gamut there too, from common 
"beginner-friendly" to "wow-I've-heard-of-them-but-never-seem-them-before".

Anyone can show up and big, but you have to be a member to sell.  Our 
usual limit of 20 lots per seller applies.  Please arrive early if you're 
bringing things to sell.  We cannot guarantee the auction workers will 
have time to check in your items once the auction has started.

Also be advised this is at our NEW meeting location at SPU, at the North 
end of Queen Anne.  Directions and map are on our website, www.gsas.org
