Support Needed for the Education and Outreach Auction
The annual PLSO auction provides a special opportunity
for individuals, companies and vendors to support
two very important PLSO efforts: 1st—The PLSO
Scholarship Fund; 2nd—Outreach. Scholarship funds
are transferred to the Oregon Community Foundation
which administers the annual award of PLSO scholar-
ships. Outreach includes events such as: recruiting
prospective surveyors by sponsoring attendance at
college/career fairs; educating young people about
surveying by conducting programs such as TwiST and
TrigStar; promoting career information through the
Young Surveyors Network; and sponsoring survey
student activities at the annual conference. PLSO
members are asked to support these endeavors by
donating items and joining the bidding at the auction.
As in past years, the silent auction will be conducted
throughout Thursday, January 19. That evening,
a small group of select items will be sold at live
auction following dinner (dinner is included with your
registration). Background music will be provided during
the social hour and dinner by a trio featuring Erin Parra.
Some notable donations that have already been
planned or pledged to the 2017 auction include:
