Hi, everyone:
With MCN 2005 only three weeks off, our Silent Auction is drawing
near. This annual event benefits our nonprofit organization of
professionals dedicated to using technology to serve our
institutions' cultural aims. Your generous contribution of auction
items helps MCN offer the programs and resources we all find so
useful. Now's the time to set some things aside to take to Boston!
One striking donation already promised this year consists of three
street banners; bearing images by Chagall, Warhol, and Ansel Adams,
these were actually hung from San Francisco streetlight poles to
promote SFMOMA exhibitions. Other promised lots range from heavily
discounted registration for Museums and the Web, to unusual and
intriguing items from Jerusalem's Elvis Inn.
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
publications are always popular. Museum bags, clothing, and other
souvenirs are especially easy to carry. Donations need not be
tangible things; some popular lots in recent years have offered free
services from vendors or special half-price registration for
professional events.
Donations may be dropped off at the conference registration desk. And
if you'd like to help out as an auction volunteer, please email me
off-list.
See you in Boston!
Rob (chair, MCN Silent Auction 2005)
