Hello all, The MCN annual meeting in Washington DC is three weeks away! I know you're thinking about what to donate to the auction, so let me tell you what's coming in-- Our wonderful vendors and friends at CDW and Apple are donating an iPod Touch to the auction! Hang out more stylishly, get more done on your commute, relax and enjoy. Be sure to show your support for MCN by bidding on this one early and often. Generous incoming officers Rob Lancefield and Erin Coburn are donating a Sunlinq portable solar panel rated at 6.5 Watts--enough to charge a typical mobile phone, PDA, digital camera, or other 12V device in 2-4 hours. Set it in the sun, go for a hike, be green and charge your phone at the same time. They'll think you're still in the office! Keep an eye on the Conference Events page on mcn.edu for more updates as they come in next week. http://www.mcn.edu/conferences/index.asp?subkey=2110 Want to see your donation featured on the page? Send me an image file! As usual, this year's auction benefits our Scholarship Program, helping emerging museum professionals attend our conference by providing registration and funds towards expenses. We would like to increase their numbers next year, but we can only do it with your help. Help us surpass this year's goal of $1500! Items of any sort--new or old, seriously useful or cheerfully unrelated to museum work--that may be attractive to bidders (and carried by airline passengers) are encouraged. Exhibition catalogues and other institutional publications are always popular. SFMOMA is donating some much-coveted street banners, what will your museum donate? Equally great and easy to carry are museum bags, clothing, and other souvenirs. Donations need not be tangible things--some popular lots in recent years have consisted of services or special half-price registration for professional events. All you artists and crafters out there-you know who you are, now tell us. Bring us your photography, prints, artistic woodburnings, macram?, hand decorated coffee mugs or anything else that will fit into a suitcase. Show off your creativity and help us raise some bucks! Auction items will be accepted at the Conference Registration Desk on Wednesday, and Thursday until noon. You may bid on items throughout the day Thursday, until tables in the Vendor Hall close at 5:30. If you would like to see your item featured on the Events page of the website, send me a photo of it!
