Professor auction is an annual fund raising event for the ASME relay for life team
(see how to join and/or below). At this event Mechse
professors offer such events as dinners at their homes, dinner and drafts one
night. The professor pays for the actual event and the money that you bid/pay
goes directly to our relay for life team. All of the events have been a great
success in the past. We raised almost $500 dollars with this event last year.
Please come out and show your support for Relay and get a chance to have a
professor treat you!
Event list so far:
Professor Vanka:
Vegetarian dinner for four at his home.
Professor Keane: Dinner for 6
at his home. Excellent, delicious multi course meal with a very fun professor!
This meal also includes unlimited liquid refreshments. Seats will be sold in
pairs. All of last year’s attendee's loved this event!

Dell's and Drafts and/or fountain drinks at Brother's
