SEPA is proud to have a scholarship to help active planetarians attend its annual conference. This is the first year of awarding, but fundraising has been active for a number of years. One of the ways we raise funds is through the Silent Auction. This year will also be a first to post images of donations before the event. Keep returning here to see all the cool stuff your colleagues have provided to be auctioned.
The silent auction will take place during the entire conference in the Vendor Hall (another first!). Keep raising the bids to help provide funds for this worthy effort! Examples of donations in the past: space/astronomy/sci-fi collectables, books, planetarium theater equipment, toys, artwork, leatherwork, gift certificates, etc. There is no limit to what can be donated. All monies go to the scholarship fund. You can even donate money directly to the fund if you like! There will be a place on the registration form to do so.
