Remember When You Were a Student and Money Was Tight? A Reminder about the Student Scholarship Auction on October 8th

By Steve Butler, FAICP, and Kristin Holdworth, AICP, Scholarship Committee Co-Chairs

We want to remind you about the Student Scholarship Silent Auction, which will be held on Thursday, October 8th during the reception portion of this year’s APA WA Chapter annual conference in Vancouver.

Our goal is bold: Raise $9,000 to support scholarships. The funds raised at this event will be used to help planning students with their educational costs while attending one of Washington's three Planning Advisory Board (PAB)-accredited planning universities – Eastern Washington, University of Washington (Seattle), and Western Washington University.

Here is a preview of some of the items that will be open for bids at the silent auction on October 8:

  1. Escape Room Experience (Choice of Kent, Renton, or West Seattle)

Thank you to Sure Lock Escapes for their donation.

       2. Seattle Kraken Hockey Tickets (A few two-packs)

Thank you to Anthony Avery and Fehr and Peers for their donations.

          3. One-Hour Scenic Flight from the Chehalis-Centralia Airport

Thank you to the City of Chehalis for donating this experience and to the pilot - Brandon Rakes, Chehalis-Centralia Airport Director.

          4. Canvas Print Photograph of Deception Pass 

 

Thank you to the photographer – Michael Davalio, AICP – for this donation.

           5. Fly Fishing Lesson on a Washington Lake (Along with a “Wilderness Dinner”)

Thank you to Chad Eiken and Brian Carrico for donating this experience.

More details about the silent auction items will be provided in the APA WA conference app. In addition to being able to bid on the items mentioned above (and many more), you can always support student scholarships at any time by using this link to donate.
