NGLA Annual Conference Silent Auction Update
The NGLA Annual Conference staff want to let you in on a secret gem of the weekend- the Silent Auction! The 2nd Annual Silent Auction is not only a way to win fabulous prizes, but it is also a way to raise money for future scholarships to students attending NGLA in 2016. Last year, the Silent Auction raised over $2,500!

This year, we are encouraging the campus delegations to support the silent auction by donating an item or basket.

Helpful guidelines for giving:
  • Include items that apply to a large number of attendees, including the hot trends of the season
  • Remember that both collegians and alumnae will be bidding, so try to include items with varying price ranges
  • Attendees will be traveling from all over, so try not to limit goods to one specific 
  • Pinterest has a lot of great ideas for basket themes and ideas
Not able to attend or not sure you’ll have room to transport a donation? No problem! Pre-conference donations can be mailed to Rebecca Jamrozik Mickler by Friday, February 20, 2015:
Duquesne University
Attn. Rebecca Mickler
#315 Union
600 Forbes Avenue

If you have any questions please contact Silent Auction Chair Rebecca at jamrozikr@duq.edu or 412-396-6651 (Office) / 330-518-4353 (cell). Thank you in advance for your participation.
