Here is the announcement from Paul:

http://lists.thekrib.com/gsas-announce/0801/msg00002.html

"The Greater Seattle Aquarium society is hosting our annual Plant and 
Livestock auction on Tuesday, February the 12th at our usual location, 
Weter Hall, SPU campus.    Doors open at 6:30 to register items and the 
auction starting at 7:30.  We'll do our best to try and explain a little 
about the plants (i.e., light requirements, how "challenging" it is, etc). 
Depending on the amount of donations, we might be out by 9 like last year, 
or it might push on until 10:30.

If you're a member, you may bring up to 20 lots to sell of your own. 
Members get 60% of the bid, while the club takes the remaining 40%. The 
board has decided to include FISH and other livestock this year, so feel 
free to bring your juveniles! You can also bring plant-related dry-goods 
like substrate, fertilizer, CO2 gear, and specialty lights, but no general 
stuff like tanks or filters.  Save those for April.

The success of our auctions depends on participation so please bring a 
friend.
We are also looking for help the day of the auction with a need for WiFi 
laptops, baggers (before the auction), runners to distribute the goods, 
and cleanup/break down crew.  If you think that you can assist with the 
above, please email me.

Unsure about whether the âplantâ auction is for you?   Plants of all types 
will be available from the super easy (duckweed) to stem plants (start 
quickly to beat algae) to rare species (ie any of the other mosses).  If 
you keep herbivores, at least plenty of âgreen foodâ will be available.

What livestock should I bring?   Any fish or invertebrate is welcome 
however the audience tends to be interested in planted tank friendly 
individuals.

Anything else?  Plants can be bagged in Ziplock type bags and should 
remain moist.  Fish should be double bagged to prevent leaks.  Ie. seal 
âfish typeâ bag #1 with a band, transfer to bag #2 band first and seal."
