*Silent Auction*
It is time to start gathering things to donate to the 2006 Silent Auction. Talk with your campus organizations and ask them to help you promote your school. Let them know about the important work that TRiO does and how they can assist in helping students achieve their educational goals. You all know the process, so pack a few extra silent auction items to help support your programs.
Items for bid will be displayed at the conference from Sunday, October 8th through Tuesday, October 10th, until bidding ends at 6:00 p.m. Bid sheets will be available at the conference. Please include a description as well as a minimum bid for all donated items. For more information, please contact Charlene Herron, Silent Auction Coordinator, at 406-756-3888, or cherron@fvcc.edu
