For those of you who have been living in a cave these past six months and haven't heard, the VAHC auction is this coming Saturday in North Vancouver, BC. This is a really huge general auction and has a bewildering array of all manner of goodies available for cheap - and since the dollar is slightly up against the Looney right now, we could make out like bandits! Auction details can be found here: http://www.fishopolis.com/VAHC/meetings_fallauction09.cfm Our hosts for the evening tomorrow night, Dave Carlson and his family (Dave is the auction chair for the VAHC, and has been to our general auction several times), state that they will have TWO extra bedrooms available for guests tomorrow night if anyone wants to come crash witht hem. This means an early morning, as we were up at 6AM last year to go get coffee and donuts for the setup crew, plus a couple hours of actual setting up chairs and tables and the like in the parish gymnasium where the auction is held. If anyone is interested in staying with Dave and his clan, drop me an email tonight and I'll get you his address. Calye and I are heading up bright and shiny tomorrow morning, because Dave works at the Vancouver Aquarium and is going to show us around! Yes, Steev, we'll take many pictures :-) Hope to see some of you there on Saturday!
