*Greetings ARLIS/NA members! At the annual conference in Washington D.C. we will once again hold a Silent Auction to benefit the society. Money raised will help fund ARLIS/NA student travel awards. We would be delighted to receive donations of all kinds. Items that have done well in the past include handcrafted items, books, gift cards, jewelry, photographic prints and paintings. Do keep in mind that smaller items are easier to travel with. Corporate donations are especially welcome! For those of you who work in areas with museum shops, please consider asking your shop if they would also like to donate something for the auction. We also encourage ARLIS/NA Chapters to contribute "baskets" or ensembles that represent their region or play off of another creative theme. If you are interested in donating please fill out the form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1DeEeKAQBzbiGhbVc_5lc9UxK6RW65lB3wwPoGl84xt4/viewform>.
