SILENT & LIVE AUCTION
Since
1997 our annual conference has featured a silent auction in the exhibit hall.
100% of the proceeds from the 2008 auction will fund the scholarship program of
the Western Museums Association which helps fund travel and participation in the
annual meeting for professionals who might otherwise not be able to attend. This
program is a vital component in our mission to reach all sectors of our
constituency.
Suggested
items might be:
Museum gift shop items; Craft items, jewelry, books,
Wine from your state
Travel
packages to upcoming the WMA conference or vacation spots (consider
donating hotel nights and/or air miles)
A stay at your vacation home
If the WMA receives written notification of your donation by August 15, 2008,
you will be acknowledged in the List of Auction Items, which is posted on our
website and at the conference.
Items
may be brought or sent directly to the conference location, but you must fill
out this form in advance in order to receive proper acknowledgement at the
conference. Please provide us with a description of

donor’s expense) after the conference as long a clear photograph of the item
is provided to WMA in advance for the auction table.
Please note that WMA may
combine your item with others if such a combination would bring higher bids.
