Going Once, Going Twice… Gone to Great Homes!

Pi Chi Omega Mallis Auction Closes with Big Wins for the Mission

During PestWorld, Pi Chi Omega opened an exciting online auction featuring a complete 10-volume set of the iconic Mallis Handbook, once owned by the esteemed Stoy Hedges. The action started fast: the first three volumes sparked a spirited bidding war, culminating in one determined member, Thomas Jarzynka, ACE, taking home the winning bid. With these volumes, Tom proudly completed his personal Mallis collection—while also advancing the mission of Pi Chi Omega.

Following Thanksgiving, the auction reopened to offer up the remaining seven volumes. It didn’t take long! Michael W. Brandt, BCE swiftly snapped up volumes 4–7 outright, thrilled to both support Pi Chi Omega and preserve these meaningful industry treasures.

A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who participated. And a special congratulations to our winning bidders, whose combined contributions of $3,150 directly bolster the work and mission of Pi Chi Omega.

Here’s to knowledge shared, history preserved, and a community that always shows up!
