Hello from Downeast 2007
The Downeast 2007 Conference is coming to Portland, Maine July 23 -27, 2007. It is sponsored by the National Marine Educators Association (NMEA) and hosted by its local chapter, the Gulf of Maine Marine Education Association (GOMMEA). This is a chance for teachers, other educators, and researchers who are interested in the “world of water, both fresh and salt” to come together to share inspiration, innovative ideas, and programs.
To help support the conference, we will have an auction on Thursday, July 26 at the Eastland Hotel in Portland. We are looking for items for the live auction
which would be valued at $100 or more. Last year we had a computer, a digital camera, a beautiful painting, and a valuable rare fossil among the live auction items.
We also run a silent auction featuring items with an environmental connotation that range in value from $10 to $100. We will have a special section for educational programs, books, CDs, etc. Baskets containing a variety of things around a particular theme are popular items as well.
We urge you to donate item(s) or cash to our auction. GOMMEA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit group, and all donations are tax-deductible. You will be provided with a receipt for your donation which you may use for tax purposes. Better yet, your company or organization will be promoted to 500 or more people who will be coming from around the world to Downeast 2007…. AND you will be helping to support our scholarship fund for teachers.
If you would like to be an exhibitor at our conference, and display your merchandise or products, please contact Beth Owen at beth.owen@maine.edu.
Representatives of Downeast 2007 can contact you directly or you may donate to the auction using the online Donation Form at our website at http://gommea.org./downeast2007/auction_donation_form.shtml or e-mail us at Downeast2007@gommea.org. Items may be mailed to me at
, or brought to the conference and dropped off at the Registration Area in the Eastland Hotel in Portland. Feel free to contact me at s-meeker@comcast.net or by phone (603) 659-5441 for additional information.
Sincerely,
Sharon Meeker, Auction Chair
