Dear
IAMSE Members,
As
you may well know IAMSE conducts a silent auction at the annual meeting each
year. The purpose of the money raised from the silent auction is to fund
scholarships for attending the annual meeting. It is important to support and
foster the interests and scholarly activities of the younger generation who
will one day step into our shoes. This year two people will participate in
this year’s annual conference in San Diego, CA with support from this fund. We
hope this year's event will be even more successful than before.
So,
how can you help? Please consider donating items that would be appealing to our
members. Even if you are unable to attend the meeting this year in San Diego
you can still participate! Please contact our office regarding the items you
would like to donate and we will help make that happen on your behalf. Examples
of past contributions include (but are not limited to) the following:
functional equipment, computer hardware (older versions of the iPad!), software
- educational programs or applications, signed artwork / photographic images,
jewelry, books, textbooks, video or graphic supplies, lab supplies, lab or
service bureau gift certificates, retail gift certificates, medical or
photographic antiques, collectibles, handcrafted items, promotional items from
suppliers, mugs, t-shirts, caps, etc. from your institution/state/country,
food, wine, or specialties of your state/region/country, vacation homes to be
used for a week, and airline miles.
Please
let us know which items you will donate, so we can create the item list. Please
email Julie@iamse.org.
Thank
you for considering your contributions to this important endeavor. We look
forward to seeing you or at least your donated items in San Diego.
