Each year at Conference, a silent auction is held to raise funds for MSF - Doctors Without Borders. The 2008 auction saw some amazing items donated (and a rather lively bidding war over a substantial amount of lobster!). 2009 was even better... including a return of the lobster. Here's what is in store for 2010 (to date):

Thank you to all who donated items for the auction - past, present, and future. It always proves to be a tremendous success. Last year the CERC membership made a collective donation of over $16,000... putting the total donation from CERC membership over the past 6 years to over $81,000!

If you are interested in providing an item for the silent auction, please send our social committee an email.
