Greetings, MAA members!  

We are all looking forward to the MAA Conference being held in Detroit on June 17 and 18, 2024! As in past years, the conference will include a silent auction for conference attendees. It’s a great way to raise money for MAA and take home something cool.  

The Conference Auction Sub-Committee is calling for donations to the silent auction. Whether it’s something unique to your part of the state, your archive, or something you made or bought, we would love to include it in our auction! So far we have collected paperweight beanie babies, books, poetry broadsides, gift baskets, and more! 

Please reach out to a member of the auction subcommittee (Andrea Howard, howarda1@gvsu.edu or April Conant, conanta331@macomb.edu) if you have something you would like to donate. We can arrange to pick up the item or get it from you at the conference.  

Thank you all for your generosity and creativity! We’ll see you in Detroit!
