PyLadies Auction

PyLadies Auction ------------------ We are proud to announce the Third Annual PyCon Charity Auction. Last years auction was a huge success raising over $10K for PyLadies on over 35 items from sponsors and fellow attendees were auctioned off. The highest earning one was a Frozen print donated by Disney and the most sought after was the Python logo cuff links donated by _From Python Import Podcast_, which went for $900. This is a fun and entertaining way to support the PyLadies community. A good sense of humor is recommended and bidding is not required. The PyLadies Auction is taking place **Saturday, April 11, 2015 at 6:30pm in room 516**. A small cover charge is required for refreshments, and can be paid as part of your PyCon registration or at the auction door.
