EXECUTIVE BOARD'S BASKET
FOR SILENT AUCTION

• A photograph of the Executive Board in a decidedly "L.A. kinda mood" * not a pretty sight, but DEFINITELY something to remember us by!
  
• Miniature boxing gloves * used to resolve those "miniature" disagreements at Board meetings
  
• Carole Goldsmith (Canadian Rep) * West coast style relaxation massage oil and a mood enhancing CD for easing on down after a late night Board meeting
  
• Leslie Abrams (West Regional Rep) * California wine (need we say more?)
• Debbie Kempe (Northeast Regional Rep) * Illy coffee (used to keep the Board awake during By-Laws discussions) and some hand cream (useful for developing the thick skin that is a prerequisite to surviving on the Board)
  
• Ted Goodman (Vice President/President-Elect) * Food items from Zabar's or Balducci's for nourishing the body while the mind quickly atrophies due to the pressures of Board meetings
  
• Trudy Jacoby (Treasurer) * Set of Dansk silver plate napkin rings to hold the elegant napkins needed when Board members are reduced to drooling idiots from too many Board decisions
  
• Lou Adrean (Midwest Regional Rep) * Cleveland Museum of Art publications (after all, we ARE art librarians)
  
• Pat Lynagh (South Regional Rep) * a Smithsonian Institution mug (for coffee laced with Laudanum) used specifically to keep Pat OUT of the "institution" while on the Board
  
• Peter Blank (Secretary) * the Board's old Mac laptop (still operational and still smokin')
  
• Karen McKenzie (President) * chocolate-covered coffee beans for that double caffeine hit while working nights and week-ends to catch up on Board business, and a stress-buster toy to prevent UNNECESSARY homicides
  
• Kathryn Wayne (Past President) * a bottle of hair color . . . for new Board members who wake up the next morning after their first meeting to discover that their hair has gone completely white overnight
