Park in the Dravus Lot.
Fish, Plants, Tanks, Drygoods, EVERYTHING aquarium-related!
It's that time again for GSAS's main fundraiser, the HUGE General Auction!
We are once again holding the auction at Upper Gwinn Hall at Seattle Pacific University, same campus as our monthly meetings and Holiday Party. It will be on April 11th. Click on Google directions above, or on the map to see details of the area. Please park in the Dravus lot to the Southeast. A very small amount of accessible Parking is available off 6th Avenue as well. We will try to have our sandwichboard sign and doorbell set up outside the West entrance on 6th for drop-off and pickup. Outside food is not allowed inside the room...but can be purchased directly downstairs in the SPU cafeteria or Einstein Bros Bagels. Bring a water bottle!
Bidding starts at 10 AM, preview and setup at 9. We go until everything's gone (likely late afternoon). Please read the auction guidelines for more information. If you are a member, please pre-register your items. Sellers, please contact us at info@gsas.org if you are bringing more than two boxes of drygoods or two tanks.
What will you find at this auction? Everything! Tanks, logs, CO2 equipment, boxes of stuff from people's basements, and of course FISH, SHRIMP and PLANTS! We've got new donations donated by our generous Sponsor Stores and national companies. And hundreds of items being sold by GSAS members. Check our e-mail group Airstone and our Facebook page for updates and photos of the plant order and what members are bringing!
Non-members are always welcome to bid! Please spread the news, volunteer to be a runner or recorder for a stretch.
Masks are encouraged but not required. If you have any symptoms of sickness, please be respectful of others and stay home. Similarly, be respectful of others' mask-wearing or distancing choices at our meetings.
GSAS is proud to announce that registration is now open for the All-Aquarium Catfish Convention! Read our convention page for full details on the seven amazing speakers, banquet, field trip, shirts and yes, the return of the pub glass!
Thanks to all who attended our record-breaking plant and fish auction this month, from the bidders and sellers, to the auctioneers, recorders, check-in table, runners and all the other volunteers. We hope everyone came home with something interesting for their aquariums. And a special thanks to the generous donation from Florida Aquatic Nurseries!
The back half of the season is going to be amazing -- just look at what's in store:
All GSAS meetings and auctions are on Saturday now. For questions on speakers or events, e-mail us at info@gsas.org
A big thank you to everyone who came out in force to our record-breaking general auction this year, especially to all our volunteers who worked tirelessly the whole day. And a special thanks to the sponsor stores and national companies.
Our big auctions still remain the primary source of income from the club, and their success means we can pay our rent and Internet video storage bills, bring in top quality speakers, and have nice prizes in our contests throughout the year. Thanks again!
