AOR Conference Fundraising Success!
What do bottles of wine, bags of compost and two airline tickets all have in common? They were all items in the silent auction at AORs latest Sustainable Oregon conference. Items donated by business such as Fort George Brewing, DIY Bar and Rexius Inc. helped to raise more than $2,400 for AORs scholarship fund. Add in the $1,025 raised from the 50/50 raffle and together we raised close to $3,500!!
