Re: [GSAS-Member] Reminder: Plant Auction Next Tuesday!

Hi Erik-

Of course we can be runners again this year. So that
gives you 3 so far. We'll try to be there a bit early
to, so if any help is needed we can do what we can.

I'll also be bringing "cheesecake" for those at are
interested......~smile~. I'll bring plates, forkes,
and napkins, as well.
