The 2008 AHS Silent Auction was held on February 2 as part of the AHS Annual Meeting & Awards Banquet at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Lexington, Ky. We were so pleased with the generosity of the donors and the bidders who continued to support us in raising funds towards the expenses of future meetings! This year's auction raised a record amount in excess of $13,000! Congratulations to the winning bidders and special thanks to the donors below.
Also, thank you to Sheila Adams & Debbie Banas who volunteered to set up all the Silent Auction items!
