[Asis-l] Donate to Silent Auction to Benefit InfoShare Award!

[Rorissa, Abebe]

Hello colleagues,

Each year at the ASIS&T Annual Meeting the International Information Issues SIG holds an International Reception and Silent Auction. Donations from ASIS&T members are bid on by other members to raise money to sponsor memberships for colleagues in countries for whom the membership fee presents a financial hardship.

Donations in the past have included items from the personal households/libraries of members (jewelry, books, etc.), offerings of services (weekend at vacation home, etc.) and items created by members specifically for the Silent Auction (paintings, knitted items, wine from member vineyards, etc.).

So get creative or clear out your attic. No item is too small or too trivial. The bulk of funds are raised on items auctioned for less than $5!! When in doubt, bring it along!

We'll send you another reminder in a week or so, but we wanted to get you thinking as you do your fall cleaning.

Thanks for thinking of the InfoShare Award.

Best wishes,

Abebe Rorissa
