    How did I miss that the Des Moines Zoo had a coral auction?

    Don't know anything about it. Never heard about it either.

    Blank park zoo had "the hope for the wild" coral silent auction. It ended March 8th with a portion of the proceeds going to a conservation cause.

    Perhaps someone should inform them of GIRS and ask we be informed of future auctions.

    I don’t see an auction but they did have this virtual event with speakers.

    I didn't know about it either. I doubt that they would notify us as we, as a group, have never exposed ourselves to them like we have the Omaha aquarium. (Maybe a behind the scene event could be arranged? They might let members purchase corals?) I would not think that they would notify us versus us following their Facebook site.

    I thought someone with authority from GIRS might contact them, speak with them about us and and inform them we might benefit their auction in the future by purchases and publicity. Added free publicity is always a bonus for any business.

    I thought we loaned our par meter to them once, so I know they know about us.
