Research Money Raised at Annual Conference Auctions
Silent and live auctions combined to raise $4,275.00 at the Annual Conference and Trade Show held in Bay City on February 1st. These funds are dedicated to fund various research projects in 2006. TPT will soon be issuing a Request for Proposals (RFPs) and it is anticipated that there will be no shortage of deserving projects. As state funding for research continues to decrease, there is more and more need for the support from associations and industries such as ours.
We wish to thank the following donors and supporters of the auctions for making the event successful.
