Call for Silent Auction Donations

The Silent Auction is a popular event during the OAS Symposium and a 

great way to raise money for the Society. To ensure the success of our 

one and only annual fundraiser, we need your help!

Please consider donating new or gently used items such as archaeology 

and history books, services, jewelry, antiques, crafts, tools, gift 

certificates, gift baskets, etc. This is also a great opportunity for 

businesses to showcase their products and services. All donations will 

be acknowledged on silent auction donor boards during the symposium and 

in the program package. You will also receive much personal gratitude 

from your silent auction organizing committee!

Last year, several OAS chapters assembled and donated unique one-of-a 

kind gift baskets with items that showcased their chapter and regions. 

These were a big hit with our bidders and we hope that more chapters 

will participate this year!

Silent auction donation items are now being accepted for the OAS 2015 

Symposium. Please contact Ellen Blaubergs at eblaubergs@rogers.com

by October 13, 2015 and include the following information: donor name 

and contact info, description of item(s) to be donated, value of 

donation, minimum/starting bid (if you like). Please also indicate if 

you are bringing the donation to the symposium, giving it to someone to 

bring, or would like to send/courier it. We’ll provide an address if you 

prefer this last method.

Thank you for your support!
