Playwrights Hall, Eugene Hilton

Oregon Women in Timber would like to personally invite you to our 19th annual auction held each year to benefit our education program Talk About Trees!  Come Friday, February 26, 2010, for "The Main Event" during the Oregon Logging Conference.  The evening will begin at 6:00 PM with conversation and cocktails followed by an elegant sit down dinner, and a fabulous silent and live auction.  A tropical theme will provide a fun escape for you.  You won't want to miss this grand social event!  Join us for some serious bidding to support forestry education and after the auction, we invite you all to stay to visit with old friends and relax on into the evening.

2 MILLION Oregon students have participated in a Talk About Trees classroom program since 1991!  Talk About Trees is a statewide forestry education program.  The purpose of the program is to increase student's knowledge and awareness of forestry and related issues, including the life cycle of trees, forest health, trees as a natural resource, forest as habitat for animals, and careers in forestry.  The on-site, hands-on science unit of study is offered to pre-school through eighth grade students free of charge and is presented by Talk About Trees facilitators.

Your support makes a difference!  A contract with the Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI) is the primary financial support for the program, but no less critical is the support from our annual auction, grants, and many generous donations from individuals and business.  This support and confidence enables Talk About Trees to continue educating Oregonians, young and old, about the valuable resource of our renewable forests.

Take a moment to consider how you can help keep this program in our schools.  Your attendance at our auction, a cash donation or donation of an auction item will help us to maintain our success and reach even more students this school year.  Remember - All donations and purchases are tax deductible.  Oregon Women in Timber is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.  Please note that your cash or item donation (s) and or table reservations must be received by January 31, 2010.
