Hello, everyone:
As our Boston conference approaches (only seven weeks away!), so does
the MCN Silent Auction. This annual event benefits our nonprofit
organization of professionals dedicated to fostering our
institutions' cultural aims through the use of computer technologies.
Your generous contribution of auction items helps MCN continue to
offer the programs and resources we all find so useful. It's never
too soon to start dreaming up novel (or even grandly excessive!)
donations and stashing them away to carry to Boston, where donated
items will be gratefully accepted in person.
Items of any sort--new or old, seriously useful or cheerfully
useless--that may be attractive to bidders (and carried by airline
passengers) are encouraged. Exhibition catalogues and other
institutional publications are always popular. 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 free services or special half-price registration for
professional events.
Donations may be dropped off at the conference desk in the hotel when
you register. Auction volunteers also are needed. If you'd like to
help, please email me off-list at <rlancefi...@wesleyan.edu>.
http://www.mcn.edu/Mcn2005/mcn2005events.htm has more details
regarding the auction and a wide range of other MCN 2005 conference
events.
See you in Boston!
Rob (chair, MCN Silent Auction 2005)
