Thanks to Janet Muise of the CBC Design Library for contributing her photographs.

OCAD Library members hosted an evening of holiday food and drink featuring a Silent Auction to raise funds for the Spring ARLIS/NA Banff Conference Travel Award. Many thanks to our hosts and to those who helped with their donations and their silent and not so silent bids to raise $520.00 for this award.

Daniel Payne opens the bid on this Proclamation by William Lyon Mackenzie from 1837 during our not so silent auction.

Candy, Jewelery, posters and books and some fairly interesting pieces of sculpture came to the auction block. All items were donated by ARLIS/ON members.

Catherine Spence, Jill Patrick and Karen Mackenzie call their bids on one of the many books and gifts donated to raise funds for the Travel Award for the ARLIS/NA 2006 Banff Conference.

Excellent auctioneer Margaret English, calls for bids on another fine example of auction items.
