SCAVMA Auction

December 1, 2000 at 5 PM
Marookian Auditorium, VHUP

We invite alumni to attend and join the fun!

The auction raises money for SCAVMA purchases that benefit the students at the School. Last year's auction raised more than $20,000 for various projects and the Faculty/SCAVMA Emergency Loan Fund. We hope we can top this in 2000 and are looking for donated auction items. Donations will be listed in the SCAVMA auction brochure.
