annual orchid auction
Once a year, usually in May or June, OSSC hosts an auction of high-quality
orchids. This is the main fund-raising event for the society, and proceeds from
this event are vital to the continued operation of Southern California's oldest
orchid society.
2010 ossc annual auction
The date for our annual auction has been set for June
19, 2010. Please check back here for details of this event
as we get closer to that date.
2009 ossc annual auction recap
Bucking the general economic environment, OSSC’s auction managed to
attract more bidders and earn more money than the prior year’s auction. And
for the first time in memory, we actually sold all the plants that we had
displayed! While many people contributed to the effort (see the list of
volunteers on page 5), special recognition should go to the tireless efforts
of Auction Chair Rose Fistrovic, and the superb job Publicity Chair
Carlos
Cruz did in attracting almost 25 new visitors using his Web 2.0 resources.
The auction was a product of the efforts of many people – donors,
members, even spouses pitched in. We recognize and profoundly thank all the
people who contributed their time, energy, and items to this event.
