Not-So-Silent Auction - Something for Everyone
The MLA 2011 Silent Auction plans on making plenty of noise!
Join the excitement and bring your piggy bank to bid on everything from a thrilling hot air balloon ride, jewelry and art by local artisans, Taekwondo or Tai Chi lessons, wonderful bed and breakfast getaways, super ski vacations, 2 tickets to the NASCAR race on May 15th in Dover, DE, and so much more!
Another amazing collection of Baskets of Bounty, featuring the "best of" flavors from each region or organization, promises to once again be a highlight.
Don’t miss the Live-Action Auction, a special mini-event sharing the spotlight with the 4th Annual Pub Quiz Thursday evening. There really is something for everyone!

Conference Community

The Conference Community will be an interactive website with information about conference programs, handouts and access to recorded sessions. Acting as the hub of the virtual conference, it will give all attendees the opportunity to expand their conference experience – for free. Everyone who registers for the MLA/DLA Conference (both face-to-face and virtual participants) will have access to this interactive website.
We need volunteers to staff the Conference Community Table (located in the Registration area). You'll hand out flyers and show people how to access and navigate the website. There will be opportunities to learn about it before the Conference so that you can then explain it to attendees. Nothing complicated!! Get involved, sign up today!
