Please donate to the Silent Auction!! 
The silent auction was a huge success the past two years in Charleston and 
Athens. With YOUR HELP, we raised over $8,500 for the Student Travel Fund in 
the past two years. This fund was established in 2006 to help defer travel cost for 
Graduate Student members presenting papers or posters during the ASB Annual 
Meeting. Since the fund was created, many students have benefited from these 
travel grants. 
In order to surpass the amount we raised in Charleston and Athens, we need 
Your Help again this year in Spartanburg, SC, the site of the Annual ASB 
Meeting, April 2-5, 2014. The donated items can be books, to handcrafts, to 
memorabilia, to nature photography, to t-shirts or anything else you think 
appropriate. Some examples of the recent bestselling items are gift baskets, gift 
cards, nature books, jewelry, wine or any adult beverage and unique gifts.
