Hi everybody

Many of you are familiar with the Annual NASC Auction. It is an online auction, hosted by Andrew Beauchamp of TerraForums/FlyTrapShop.com at TerraForums. The proceeds support the functioning of the North American Sarracenia Conservancy.

More details can been seen here:

Rules can be viewed here:
www.terraforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=128

The auction opens at noon, Sat. June 7th and closes at 10 p.m. Saturday, June 21st. (Opening and closing times listed are EASTERN Daylight Savings Time so adjust to your time zone accordingly.) Reading of the rules is required for participation; participation in the auction will assume understanding and acceptance of all rules.

In addition, as we have done in the past, NASC will be sharing auction proceeds with another conservation project.

We will be donating 50% (up to $1,500) of our proceeds
to the Splinter Hill Bog land acquisition project
of TNC (The Nature Conservancy).

AND...NEW THIS YEAR...we will be running a membership promotion during the Auction period: free NASC memberships for the remainder of the 2008 year to anyone who donates an item to our auction. If you donate and would like to join NASC, all we need is your membership form and you will be a member for the remaining 2008 year!

NASC has had great support in the previous years form the CP and conservation community. We appreciate your dedication in supporting our conservation efforts.

And...as always, we are looking for volunteers to help with various tasks ranging from field surveys to education to web site work. We have a lot to do and need hands to do it.

Any questions? Just ask!

Thank you all!

NASC President

The NASC Benefit Auction starts this Saturday at NOON! I hope you will consider making an item donation. Plants and seeds are always great but other items like books, artwork and, well, Specialty Spam, are welcome too! The auction runs for a two-week period so there is lots of time to make a donation of an item.

No plant too easy, no plant too challenging! There will be a wide range in the experience level of bidders, so don't think you don't have something to offer!

And don't forget, if you sign up for NASC membership during the auction period, your membership will be free for the remainder of the month. And we do have a seedbank of location Sarras for members. (We will need to have a completed membership form.)

Aaaand of course, NASC will be sharing the proceeds with TNC for the Splinter Hill Bog acquistion. A very important goal.

Your participation in the auction, both listing and bidding, is greatly appreciated! It's appreciated, and well, it's just darn FUN!

Hope to see you at TerraForums during the auction period.

Thank you very much!

The NASC Benefit Auction 2008 starts tomorrow. We appreciate any donations. Not only does it help us towards our goals but it's just a lot of fun! So if you have a spare plant or seeds, consider putting it up for auction.

We'd like to thank everyone who has been so supportive of us.

Hope to see you around during the Auction!

The NASC Benefit Auction has two more days to run! Record number of donations, record number of pages (10 so far) and record price for a donation. Even the SPAM has hit a record high! There is GOOD STUFF to bid on.

THANK YOU to everyone who has so generously supported the auction. It is greatly appreciated.

The auction closes at 10 p.m. tomorrow nite. Auction is open for donations and bids until then. Hope to see you there!
