2013 Conference (34)
Our 2013 Silent Auction goal is to raise $10,000 for turf research project funding that will help turf managers solve problems and ultimately better manage their turf. The WCTA Research Committee is currently ranking 16 different submissions for this year's funding distribution.
Q. Why do we want to invest in turgrass research?
A. If there’s one thing we’ve learned as an industry, it’s that problems don’t go away by themselves!
You can help by pledging an item or items to our silent auction taking place on Monday, March 4, 2013 during our annual Conference and Trade Show.
Silent auction donation items can include both business items/services and personal items. Suppliers and turf managers alike are encouraged to support this worthy cause and we appreciate any and all items put forward. Total retail value of submissions to date is $7527.60!
