Media Auction Recap
A media mountain of thanks
It's like they say: Put generous donations of media products, art
and more in a room full of generous buyers of said products, and something
magical happens. In this case, a successful 20th annual AAF Duluth/Superior
Media and Art Auction raised funds to support local scholarships and
educational programs. (link to full recap story and list of donors
online.
Ask board members for event photos.) "We
had a great turnout at the new venue at Spirit Mountain and wonderful
response by bidders," said Nicole Sandman, Ad Fed president.
"None of it could have happened without the help of the local
organizations that donated items for both the silent and live auction.
We also want to thank those who participated in the first annual
1X1 art auction. The pieces we received far outweighed our expectations
and we will definitely bring this component back next year."
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this successful event.

Off Script
iG:
We're kind of forcing this concept a bit, eh?
Wd:
How so?
iG:
You know, by writing "a script"
for every Script.
Wd:
But that's the schtick.
iG:
Seems like you should have something,
um, important to say. Message over style, right?
Wd:
C'mon, ideas are fleeting. A format
is forever. Besides, if folks submitted content we wouldn't
just ramble on to fill space.
iG:
Somehow I doubt that.
ANNCR:
Got a message to share? Just click
here to submit a story idea, press release, ad or …
something completely different. Submissions have never
been more welcome. In fact, the first AAF member to
submit (usable) content for the January Script will
win a prize. As if free publicity weren't prize enough.
