12 The Oregon Surveyor | Vol. 46, No. 2 The 2023 PLSO Auction, combined with various raffles and special appeals, generated $26,842.24. Of that total, $11,018.00 was raised specifically for scholarships, $2,443.00 for outreach, and allocating $13,381.24 between scholarship and outreach will be voted on at the spring Board of Director’s meeting in Eugene. This year’s PLSO Auction participants involved both online and in-person attendees. The achievements of these fundraisers were only possible through the generous support provided by PLSO members, vendors at the conference, and friends of PLSO. Further thanks go to everyone who purchased auction items, raffle tickets, and made donations to miscellaneous appeals. More than 75 items were generously donated to this year’s auction. The continued support for future generations by surveyors and friends of the profession makes it a great pleasure to be a part of this event. The 2023 Auction Committee is made up of Cole Davis, Robert Hamman, and Marcus Helm. If you are interested in joining the committee for next year, contact PLSO. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year at the 2024 PLSO Conference in Salem, and having another successful event!
