Bidding Auction
We are continuing our tradition of the GRC Bidding Auction and Raffle this year at the annual meeting
in Pittsburgh. Both will be held in conjuction with the evening mixer on Friday May 31st and have been
amazing sucesses for entertainment and fund-raising in past years. We hope to improve on both this
year. We encourge you to donate any items of monetary and/or sentimental value. Suggested items
include, but are certainly not limited to, posters, t-shirts, hats, autographed books, science art, sampling
gear, jewelry and just about anything with an aquatic theme. You can drop off the above items at the
GRC booth during the meeting or contact Kerry Gerard (gerard.2@nd.edu) or Karen Gaines
(kgaines@unm.edu) for directions on where to mail them.
Silent Book Auction

If you are a graduate student, and plan on attending this year's meeting, we would like to challenge you
