    The 2nd Annual New England Orchid Event Silent Auction
    .....................................................

    This is your opportunity to assist keeping Ganoksin healthy and
    strong. The purpose of an Orchid Silent Auction is two-fold.  One,
    it helps with the enormous expense of running Ganoksin's new server
    Titania. Two, you get to bid on tools, jewelry, books, stones or
    equipment for your studio! 

    What should I donate?  Anything really. The Orchid Silent Auction has
    seen Casting Equipment to Muffin Pans. Bidding is fun and everyone
    benefits!

    How do I donate?  It's easy! Send an email to Metalwerx
    with the following information, and we'll take care of the rest.
    Once your item is received by Metalwerx, we will send you a
    confirmation by mail or email.
