2005 Tri-State
 
Society of American Foresters Meeting
Foresters' Fund Announcemnt 

Dear IESAF Colleagues: 

On behalf of your Foresters’ Fund Committee for the 2005  
Tri-State Meeting, “Corps of Discovery: Foresters  
Walking in the Footsteps of Lewis & Clark”, April 13-15,  
Lewiston, Idaho, we are writing to all IESAF members to  
request items for the raffle and silent auction.  Your support  
is an integral part in the success of the Foresters’ Fund, and  
now is the time to get energized.  For your information, our  
committee is also sending out letters to the Washington and  
Oregon SAF Sections at this time for their participation. 

If you are unable to attend this historic meeting, please send  
an item with a member from your chapter or mail to:   

				Clarkston Service Center 
				c/o Tri-State SAF Annual Meeting 
				720 6th Avenue, Suite B 
				Clarkston, WA.  99403-2012 
				(509) 758-8012 


Some items that go for the price of a ticket (drawing) will be  
designated for the Raffle, and other items will be bid on as a  
“Silent Auction”. You may make the designation, or leave  
that to us. Generally, higher-value items are placed in the  
auction.  We especially request personal crafted items and  
items corresponding with the Lewis and Clark theme.  Please  
keep in mind that the Foresters’ Fund makes the most  
revenue on the “Silent Auction” items.  Examples of great  
items include: 
Lodgingpackages, with meals & entertainment included.
 
Regionalproducts ie. wines, beers, gift packages, and  crafts.
 
Excursions:fishing, boating, rafting, trains, etc.
 
Apparel:blankets, jackets, sweatshirts, etc.
 
Specialentertainment: sporting events, theater tickets,  
    tourist attractions, etc.
 
Forestryrelated items ie. chainsaws, raingear, tools, etc.
 
Merchandise:small appliances, tools, knife sets, etc.
 
Hand-crafted:paintings, pictures, carvings, pottery,  
    sculpture, sewed items, etc.
 

Basically, we will gladly accept anything that is appropriate  
for the raffle or the “Silent Auction”. If the item is good  
enough for you to receive, then it’s good enough for us.   
Remember to utilize your local Chambers of Commerce to  
secure local package promotions.   

You may think that we are writing this letter to you early, but 
 there is much to be done to plan and conduct this historic  
meeting and the Foresters Fund is critical to its success.   
Additionally, some businesses make all their decisions for  
donations prior to the Holidays, and others early in the New  
Year.  Don’t wait until the month before the convention to  
get raffle items.  And, if you are planning on crafting a  
donation, you probably support the notion that good work  
takes time! 

The Foresters Fund will be keeping track of donations and  
sending appropriate thank you letters to contributors, so  
please remember to provide us with the donor’s name,  
mailing address, the item donated and its value.  This  
information should accompany each item so we can properly  
record it and acknowledge each donor. 

Thank you for your time and effort in this request.  We look  
forward to seeing you and your goods in Lewiston!   Join us  
as we celebrate the Bicentennial of the Corps of Discovery in 
 our region!
