Auction Items Needed for Conference

Please help the Natural Areas Association by considering a donation to the live or silent auctions held at the annual conference. These popular auctions offer attendees a chance to bid on wonderful items such as books, artwork, wine, t-shirts, jewelry, restaurant gift certificates, kayaks, or the renowned "Prairie Fire Kit" and to support the work of NAA in the process. The Natural Areas Association is a nonprofit organization and all donations are tax deductible.

If you have an item or two you would like to donate or if you know of a business or artist that might be interested in donating, please contact either co-chair of the auction committee: email Dawn Gerlica or call 440-602-3813; email Bradley Stemen. You can bring items with you to the conference, but we would appreciate knowing what to expect in advance. Items can also be sent directly to:
