IAMSE 2015 Silent Auction

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.
