Hi, everyone:
As the MCN meeting approaches, so does our annual Silent Auction. The
auction benefits MCN, a nonprofit organization of professionals
dedicated to fostering the cultural aims of museums 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 not too
soon to start dreaming up novel (or hey, even grandly excessive!)
donations and stashing them away to carry to the conference, where
donated items will be accepted in person.
Exhibition catalogues and other publications from your institution's
store or press are popular donations; equally great are museum
clothing and other souvenirs. This year's venue opens a wide door to
Vegas-themed possibilities, and rumors of at least one Liberace
object have been confirmed. As ever, items of any sort--new, old,
seriously useful, completely frivolous--that may be attractive to
bidders (and transportable by airline passengers) are encouraged.
Auction volunteers also are needed, and will be appreciated greatly.
If you'd like to help, please contact me off-list at
<[email protected]>. The auction will take place on Thursday
evening of the conference (November 5-8, 2003).
Conference information is at http://www.mcn.edu/Mcn2003/index.html .
