The IVSA Development Fund Auctions held
during the 64th IVSA Symposium in Taiwan
by Sofie Svensson, Development Aid Director 2015/2016
As is written in the constitution
and the bylaws, the Development
Aid Director held an Auction at
the annual symposium recently in
Taiwan. Delegates were
requested to donate items which
were then auctioned off in the
Silent Auction and the Live
Auction.
The Silent Auction was where the
majority of the items are put up
on tables and delegates have 20
minutes to make their bids.
The Live Auction was held
afterwards for the more valuable
items as well as activities which
are auctioned off by auctioneers or in this case two - the lovely
secretaries Andrei and Ondrej!
Although the original auctions
were cut short due to
time constraints,
we were able to
pull off a second
auction later on,
during the last
night after the
formal dinner!
Instead of
auctioning of the
Vet PD spot as in
previous auctions,
we decided to
make a raffle for it at the formal
dinner!
The total collected came up to:
2059 euros! (Not
including the profits made
from the merchandise!)
A big Thank You to
all sponsors and
delegates for your
donations to the
Development Fund!
