2009 Rendezvous Silent Auction - Call for Donations

It's almost time for the 2009 Rendezvous Silent Auction!!

If you would like to make a donation please contact me via a PM or post on this thread.

The proceeds from the silent auction go into the Ron Gilliam Conservation Fund and are used to promote environmental awareness, fund clean-up projects and to help preserve all of Arkansas’ streams, creeks, rivers, lakes and swamps.

Donations do not need to be paddling related. We already have one very interesting donation of a 30 minute airplane ride around Little Rock. So clean out your old gear, dust off that new stuff you’ve never used, or maybe offer a service in your area of expertise.

Thanks
Mike Byrum

Wow! Bumped off the first page without even one donation.

This is an anti-sticky post and will occasionally be bumped.

I am planning on bringing a few things, including an original print on canvass of a wildlife painting by yours truly. :D

Mike,

I hope everyone else is like me an just too lazy to bother to post. So far, I'm bringing two sweet pair of shorts. Both brand new. One Patagucci and one Mountain Hardware.

Come on folks, let Mike know what you've got to contribute.

Thanks Debo and Amos, it looks like you'll got this thing rolling.

Southtown Sporting Goods and Orville Wright are due a big thanks for another great donation. Last year it was a really nice high dollar grill system, this year a pro-quality cooler.

Pictures and artwork are always great and add a personal connection to the auction!!

I'll post a full list of the donations next week.

Thanks and keep 'em coming.
