Donations Needed for APH Section Annual Auction and Raffle

The Aging and Public Health Section is  going to have another Auction and Raffle in Denver during the Award Reception on Monday evening, Nov. 8, 2010. All proceeds will be deposited in the Section Award endowments, including the New Investigator Research Award, the International Research Award, the Minority Issues Research Award, the APH Section Student Research Award, and the Rural Health Research Award. Each of these endowments needs more support. APHA is only able to earn 1.4 percent interest on our current endowment. So we need to generate more funds. 

Last year our Auction raised $1,600, and the Raffle raised $650. All was added to our endowments. 

We need good clean antiques, jewelry, pottery, art glass, sterling silver, Japanese/Chinese/Western items  and other collectables. They must be "smalls" so they can be shipped or transported home. We also sell wool used in weaving and handmade shawls. Everyone sells Raffle tickets. Larry Branch and Daniel Meng call the numbers and run the Raffle. The Auction is conducted by Susan Miller, Nancy Miller, Steve Wallace, Gerry Eggert, Janet Frank, and other volunteers. Steve Wallace is Auction Chair
