December 19th, 2005 Silent Auction
Ontario College of Art & Design; Toronto, Ontario
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.

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.
