Larkin Phone: tslarkinjr@yahoo.com OSO Auction Donors!!! Maybe these roll around quickly only for us older folks, but it seems like last week that we held the last Annual Auction. As most of you know the auction is possible through the generous donations of the Commercial firms who sponsor the event. In return we list them in our membership roster and yearbook and feature an ad in one of our newsletters as well as an article about the firm. While these perks are all well and good they don t put bread on the table for the firms. The commercial donors view their contributions as advertisement for their wares and the payoff comes in the form of plant orders from members of the receiving society. So, we humbly request that you consider all of these generous benefactors when acquiring new plants for your collection. This page features donors from last years auction. Please thank them when you place an order!!!! Auction Committee. 1
