Re: [GSAS-Member] Help Needed (Auction)

I can help.

I am indeed a Craigslist Black Belt and have to repost my own ads for my
property management business twice a week or more.  Send me the text you
have been posting and I will make sure it stays up and fresh there until the
auction.

I can also run winners...I am bringing a guest too and she will run as well
I am sure.

Hi Club:

With the Plant/Livestock Auction only a week away the club needs your help!
On the day of the auction we are looking for people that can help set up,
run winnings, and clean up at the end.

More importantly, we need your help recruiting friends and acquiescences to
attend the auction.  In the beginning, the plant auction was formed to be a
special event for members in the days that plants were still rare and or
mistreated at retail outlets.  While plants are certainly easier to find
now, I was shocked to visit a big box pet store to find non-aquatics and
other easy to ship/hard to grow plants in the displays (house plants!)  So
even now, it is possible that a potential planted tank keeper goes out to
buy "aquatic plants" ($$$) expecting a masterpiece only to have the plants
fail (inevitable) and abandon the hobby.  It is this individual who most
need the help of the plant auction to see that you really can get fresh
assorted plants at a great price.

Those that are successful in the hobby can give back (ie trade up).  I will
be "returning" several 4 year+ anubius that we acquired when I first joined
the club in addition to tank raised crypts and all the overgrowth on top of
my tanks.

So in summary, we need help gently reaching out to those that may not know
GSAS exists and or the quality of plants in the area.  We also need a
craigslist black belt as our current adds are perpetually flagged.   If you
have another resource (mailing list, forum, news group) I would be happy to
provide text to spread the work.

Enjoy your week!
-Paul
