The WCSFA Summer Silent Auction is here! Help us raise much-needed funds by bidding on some awesome geeky goodies.

From now until June 30 at noon, you can bid on items graciously donated by past special guests, other program participants, vendors, artists, WCSFA members, and local businesses. There are lots of geeky goodies and services available to be bid on, including unique items, autographed books, professional editing services, art commissions and more.

Take a look, see what catches your fancy, and make a bid or two to support a good cause. https://www.32auctions.com/wcsfa2019

Why an auction?

Faced with the rising cost of convention space, WCSFA has begun several fundraising initiatives to help cover this cost increase so that we can keep our prices at an affordable level for attendees at events like VCON.

Can I help another way?

Yes! If nothing in our auction appeals, there are other ways you can help support our fundraising goal:

• Make a cash donation to WCSFA
• Purchase a copy of our 2018 Fundraising Anthology, Power: In the Hands of One, In the Hands of Many.
• Buy or donate books at our PopUp Bookshop
• Become a WCSFA Corporate Sponsor or Individual Patron
• Register for VCON 43 (October 11-13, 2019 at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport)
• Volunteer with VCON or WCSFA

(Not So) Small Print

This purchase includes a WCSFA membership for the recipient. If that person already has a WCSFA membership, its expiry date will be extended to one (1) year from the last day of this event.

By default, the Anthology will be available for pick up by your “paramour” at the event.

If you would like the anthology shipped to you instead, please send an email to info [at] vcon [dot] ca with your order information and someone will follow up with you. You will be responsible for the cost of shipping. Note that due to WCSFA being a 100% volunteer-run organization we are unable to guarantee shipping or receipt prior to Valentine’s Day.
