AUCTION
Silent Auction and Public Auction (at Dinner function July 9, 2005)
Would you like to help a colleague to:
Join IASL?
Come to a conference?
Get published?
Be able to contact other members in the organization?
Begin the formation of an association in their area?
Bring an "item" to the annual AUCTION. The money we raise will go to the Support-a-Member, Support-an-Association, or other worthy projects that are designed to help people in developing countries meet and share with others.
The "items" for the auction should be easily portable. You have to bring them in your suitcase. Someone else has to take it home in his/hers. It could represent your region, school, and libraries in general, or be of cultural interest.
Use your imagination; be creative, and we will see how much money the auctioneer, Gerald Brown is able to extract from the conference delegates and friends. The Auction has been running now for at least 15 years and has raised over $25,000 US in that time. Come and have some fun.
There is something to be won in silent auctions and the public auction.
Bring your items with you to the registration desk when you arrive in Hong Kong, so that they can be exhibited for all to see, well in advance of the Auction event.
