March 1st has arrived! Here in the midwest we have beautiful sunny skies for the 2nd day in a row! The time is now to start lookin', decidin' & dividin' plants for our annual fund raising auction! For any newbies, we have an annual auction to hopefully cover website hosting fees for the year so we can continue to enjoy & benefit from ST! My mailbox box is clear, ready & waiting for donations!
Game plan - same as it's been the past couple of years? If you have any suggestions for changes, don't be shy, speak up!
To recap what we've done in the past -
The month of March I will accept donations, start to categorize (paphs, phrags, any other orchid, other plants), then starting Monday, April 4th each week during the month a lot of plants will be available for bidding. April 1st is a Friday so I'm assuming it would be better to start the bidding on Monday morning the 4th (or do we start Mar.28th)?
Tentatively here's what we're looking at-
1st lot/week Monday Apr.4th - Sunday 11:59PM. Apr. 10th.
2nd lot/week Monday Apr. 11th - Sunday 11:59PM. April 17th.
3rd lot/week Monday Apr. 18th - Sunday 11:59PM. April 24th.
4th lot/week Grand finale -Monday Apr. 25th - Sunday 11:59PM. May 1st.

Plant donors can include shipping or winning bid covers shipping, it will be listed in the post when bidding period opens.
Pictures are preferred, a full plant description including pot size & leafspan.
The easiest way to make payments for the winning bids is to click the donate button in the upper right corner. You can also mail a check to Heather.
Any other points need recap/reminder?
