Support the 2009 PACE Auction
Last year’s PACE Auction at the PSEA Summer Leadership Conference was an fantastic success for pro-public education in Pennsylvania. For the first time ever, the PACE Auction exceeded its goal of $14,000. As part of a PACE Challenge, PSEA President Jim Testerman graciously dressed in an Apple Suit at the 2008 December House of Delegates in Philadelphia to honor this milestone.
PSEA-PACE, PSEA's Political Action Committee for Education, asks for your generous donation of auction items to make this year's auction another huge success. This year's event will be held on July 21 at Gettysburg College. Attendees can register to win door prizes and bid on auction items to support PSEA-PACE's work to elect pro-public education candidates in Pennsylvania. Since NO member dues dollars go to PACE, PSEA member contributions through events like the annual auction help to continue this important work in Pennsylvania.
