2008 Holiday Party Silent Auction

On December 11th, 2008, the annual SLA/MALL/SCIP Holiday Party will be held at the James J. Hill Library in downtown St. Paul. At this party, the St. Kate's SLA Student Group will be holding a silent auction fundraiser for their group.

One of the biggest endeavors we take on every year is sponsoring a student's trip to the annual SLA conference which will be held in D.C. this year. All of your contributions, whether they are gifts for the auction or bids during the auction, are greatly appreciated.

Here are a few items to look forward to. Please bring your checkbook or cash for payment. We will not be accepting credit cards. Estimated retail values range from $10 to $1000.
