2012 MEETING:
STUDENT
FUNDRAISING
We
would like to try a new fundraiser this year as a calendar
featuring Paleopathologists
and their Pets. The
calendar would have pictures submitted by senior members with their
favorite
furry (and not so furry) friends. The calendar will have deadlines for
abstract
submissions and projected conference dates for the PPA, AAPA, AAA, SAA,
etc.
These calendars will be sold at our upcoming meeting. In order to make
this a
successful project, we will need photo submissions from you. Please
send photos
of you and your pets to mbtimm@gmail.com.
As
always, we are seeking donations for our Silent Auction. Please e-mail
us if
you have anything that you would like to donate.
The SAC has opened a shop via Cafepress.com. Here you can buy
high
quality clothes, coffee mugs, bags, wall clocks, and much more with the
PPA
logo. Please use the link below to find our shop, don’t just
go to cafépress and
search for the name (our group gets a better
commission when purchased via the link). Please pass this
info on to
others that might be interested in shopping at our site. Next
year’s student meeting/networking luncheon will depend on these
funds! Go to: http://www.cafepress.com/PPA_Student_Grp
