Please consider bringing an item identifiable with your nation or region of the world to donate to the auction. Items might include books, rugs, handicrafts, shawls, jewelry, carvings, baskets, hats, pottery, pillows, artwork, musical instruments, software, hardware, training, a vacation house for a period of time, etc. Use your imagination!

Donated items will be exhibited in a suitable room during the conference. Each item will have a Silent Auction Bid Page, so that people may bid on items throughout the week. The highest written bid on each sheet as of 13:00 Friday November 10th wins the bid and the right to take the item home. A few selected items will be sold through a live auction at the Gala Dinner on Thursday Evening.

Please contribute, bid, have fun, and help build support for and solidarity with the global community of SDI specialists attempting to make a difference in impoverished nations.
