Just a reminder that the annual MCN conference is a mere TWO WEEKS away, so it's time to start gathering up donations for the silent auction!
Proceeds from the silent auction benefit our scholarship program, which helps emerging museum professionals attend our conference. Some very lovely gadgets (camera! printer! LCD screens!) have already been committed...what are you bringing? Here are some ideas... * Items of any sort--new or old, seriously useful or cheerfully unrelated to museum work--that may be carried by airline passengers * Exhibition catalogues, institutional publications, museum bags, clothing, and other souvenirs * "Intangible" things like free services or discounted registration for professional events * Your crafts, i.e., photography, paintings, prints, knitting, embroidery, mosaics or anything else that will fit into a suitcase Remember, all auction donations are tax deductible! Auction items will be accepted at the Conference Registration Desk on all day Wednesday and Thursday until noon. You may place your bids until 5:30 Thursday, when we stop the bidding and announce the winners. Jana Hill MCN 2009 Silent Auction Chair
