From Eric Schmidt, Archaeology Study Group Leader:
The
Archaeology Study Group will be hosting the first of what we hope will
be several auctions designed to promote the interest of Archaeology
within the club. The auction will be hosted at the January 2014 meeting
and will be devoted exclusively to ESCONI related interests. While the
auction will be hosted by the Archaeology club, the items that can be
auctioned off can pertain to Archaeology, Paleontology, Geology,
Mineralogy, or any related Earth Science.
This
will be an excellent opportunity to add items to your collection or
make some space by auctioning items you no longer need. With so many
interests within the club, the amount of items available for auction
could be endless.
Because
the event is ESCONI related please note that all proceeds will benefit
the club. The items that should be considered for auction would most
likely be extra fossils, stones, minerals, artifacts, tools, magazines,
DVD's etc. While this is simply a recommendation, you are free to bring
whatever you prefer-as long as it is ESCONI related.
Also-being a member of ESCONI is not required so family and friends are welcome.
In
order to compile a list of items that will be available prior to the
auction, please e-mail me if you are interested in adding items for the
auction. If so, please send me details of what it is so I can prepare a
final list that will be posted to the website, newsletter and facebook.
Please send your name and item(s) details to Eric Schmidt: [email protected]
