Call for Auction Items: Support IPPS whether you can attend in Niagara Falls or not!
The annual IPPS silent and live auctions are lively and fun social events as well as important fund raisers for the Eastern Region. Your donations are needed to keep our organization running smoothly!
Both auctions will be plant-free this year. Suggested contributions include company gift certificates, 'virtual' plants that the donor will ship to the winning bidder, horticultural supplies or artwork, books and other treasures that are more readily transported across the border. Click HERE for more auction details including two fantastic vacation packages that will be on the block. Click HERE to let us know what you plan to contribute.

Perusing posters at the welcome reception.
