*16th, Annual HPER Library Auction, IUB

The 16th Annual HPER Library Auction will take place this Fall on Friday, Oct. 25th, in the IUB HPER Building, Room 125. Preview time will be from 11:30am until noon, after which our professional auctioneer, Jerry Bastin, will start the bidding wars. Please mark your calendars now, and watch for further details about items to be auctioned in future issues of IUL News.

In addition, now is the time to start thinking about what you would like to donate to the Auction. Baked goods, dinners, "gently used" furniture and sporting goods, videos, books, and plants are examples of items donated in past auctions. If you have never donated to the HPER Library Auction, this is a good time to start! It's a great collaboration between the School of HPER and the IU Libraries.

Please join us for food (lunch will be served), fun, and fund-raising!
