PACIFIC FOREST FOUNDATION EDUCATIONAL AUCTION

 

Welcome PLC Members;

This year will be our 103rd Annual meeting of the Pacific Logging Congress, November 7-10, 2012 in Tucson, Arizona.  The Pacific Forest Foundation fund raiser auction will be held during the President’s Reception and Dinner the evening of November the 10th.

 We are looking for auction items for both the Live and Silent Auction.  Ritchie Bros will be doing the Live Auction again this year.  Click here to download donation form.

 We have a responsibility to The Pacific Forest Foundation and its education programs and we can show our support by having a great Live and Silent Auction.  Please give some serious thought to what you want to donate to the Auction, Live or Silent or both.   Here are some guidelines for each auction to help you with your donation.

 Live Auction Guidelines & Suggestions:

  • Travel and Vacation packages, such as the use of a condo at a desirable holiday location. Do you have a Time Share or holiday home you are not utilizing and would be willing to donate?
  • Tickets to an event such as sports, music, etc. Do you have any season ticket you are not utilizing?
  • Any larger, more valuable, possibly unique, items.
  • Perhaps one of your suppliers or business associates has one of the above items they would be willing to donate and receive recognition for.

Silent Auction Guidelines & Suggestions:

  • Jewelry, Home Electronics, original art, sporting goods, and other sought after items
  • Professional pottery, woodcarvings, or ceramics with inscription
  • Valuable popular hard cover books
  • Consumables such as fine wines etc.
  • Models of logging machinery, ships, automobiles, aircraft, and etc.
  • Use your imagination; any item you feel would help raise money would be appreciated.

Once you have decided on a donation item, please complete the enclosed form and fax it to the PLC office at 855-866-0572, so that we may record your tax-deductible contribution.  Please send the description of your auction item, preferably with a picture, no later than October 1st.

Remember, your donation goes directly to the Pacific Forest Foundation (PFF), a tax deductible 501c3 charitable foundation. The Pacific Forest Foundation created a forestry job recruitment DVD, “This Is My Office” that is designed to target career-oriented young people.  Your donation will help to support this worthwhile project.  The DVD was unveiled at the 100th Anniversary of the PLC last November, visit www.pacificforestfoundaton.org for more information.
