Donate herp-themed items to the MWPARC auction at the June conference!

[Jennifer Lamb]

Hi Midwest PARC!

Do you have reptile and amphibian, or conservation themed items that could use a new home? Maybe extra copies of books, or herp-related artwork, clothing, jewelry, or other items? Please consider donating them for MWPARC to use in auctions at the SSAR/PARC conference at the end of this month!

There will be two auctions at the conference, a silent and a live auction. The silent auction opens on Thursday, June 27, and closes on Saturday, June 29, and the live auction takes place on Saturday evening. Funds raised from MWPARC auction items will help support our activities in future years, including student awards, future conferences, and research with herps in our region.  

If you have some fun amphibian or reptile items to donate, please complete the Google Form below as soon as possible. We will use this information to plan to have space and time for auction items.

If you are traveling to the conference, please bring the items with you and drop them off with us at the MWPARC/PARC table in the Michigan League Ballroom at the conference. If you can't make it to the conference but still want to donate items, please email one of the following folks as soon as possible to coordinate details:

• Is the item small/not heavy? Email Jen Lamb (jyl...@stcloudstate.edu)
• Is the item larger or heavy? Email Dreux Watermolen (dreux.wa...@wisconsin.gov) and Travis Kurtz (travk...@gmail.com)

Have more general questions? Please let us know by emailing parcm...@gmail.com

Thanks for your support! And we hope to see you in Ann Arbor!
