ARLIS/NA 2006 Conference in Banff - Fundraiser Update With the ARLISNA Conference only a few months away, we would like to update you on recent developments. Due to licensing conditions, the raffle event will be replaced by a silent auction, or as you will discover a "Not So Silent Auction." We promise you some very lively bidding. We are still soliciting items to include in this fundraiser. We welcome art works, handicrafts, books, cds, dvds, jewelry, culinary delights and any other objects you would like to contribute. A few chapters are bringing baskets. It would be great if more chapters and even cities would make baskets with samples of regional goodies. To submit your contribution fill out the donation form on the silent auction web page, and while you are there check out the photo gallery: http://www.arliscanada.ca/banff2006/silent_auction More complete information, including Customs rules for visitors to Canada, is also available on the web page. Remember monies raised from the "Not So Silent Auction" will go to a good cause. Let us know if you have any questions or comments. We look forward to hearing from you.
