Thanks to the top BRS member donors to the auction

[Greg Hiller]

The BRS BOD and officers want to specifically thank all the members that donated livestock and equipment. The donations just from members generated over $5,000 in revenue for the club.

As annouced previously, there was a contest of sorts.

"The BRS member donating the single item with the highest dollar value gained at auction, and also, the BRS member donating the highest total value of items ($ gained at auction) will each receive a two-year extension to their BRS membership, a BRS T-shirt, cap, and coffee mug."

The top donors to the auction were:

Top members for overall donations:

Greg Hiller $1,279.00
Rebecca Rollins (Reefnroll) $600.00
Matt Dumas (Mufflerguy) $438.00

And Dennis Vigliotte (Denvig) had the largest take from a single item for his donation of the fanastically huge chunk of his Acropora solitaryensis.

Thanks again to all the members. It was a great auction!!!

What was the total raised at the auction?

 

[Greg Hiller]

About $11-12 K net, but depends how you add up the money that came in and went out, but the president will comment later with all the figures.

 

[MikeG]

That should help bring in a lot of great speakers next year!
