Look no further than the National Mastitis Research Foundation (NMRF) auction for a unique keepsake from the NMC 49th Annual Meeting!!

Being held during the Tuesday evening (February 2) reception, you can bid on a variety of handcrafted items, including handmade wood pieces and hand-sewn home décor articles. Other items with broad appeal include cheese, wine and coffee. And, expect to find a variety of bovine items - from figurines to prints to note cards.

Some items will be offered via a live auction, while other items will be sold through a silent auction. The auction will generate funds for NMRF, which solely supports the NMC Scholars Program - now in its third year. This program provides four scholarships to graduate students, who have an interest in mastitis control, udder health and quality milk production, to attend the NMC annual meeting, and encourages their active participation in NMC. Students attending the NMC annual meeting enhance their mastitis control knowledge and build their network of milk quality experts from around the world. This worthwhile program will help sustain and provide a continuous infusion of talent for the future of NMC and the dairy industry.

The NMRF is currently accepting donations to the auction. Please contact Mark Puliafico at 508-943-9500 markp@webco-chemical.com, or Lenny Petersson at 508-865-6911 or lpetersson@iba-usa.com to make a donation. Share your hidden talents - whether it's woodworking, quilting, photography, jewelry making or sewing - with the NMC family and provide a memento to be treasured for many years to come.

Help support NMRF, NMC and future milk quality experts by donating items to and bidding on items at the auction. You'll be making a difference in young scientists' efforts to improve udder health and prevent and control mastitis!
