Thanks to all of you who participated in helping LMDA raise $1,560.28 – money that will go towards helping Early Career Dramaturgs attend our 2006 Conference here in the Twin Cities.  Your Ebay prowess and patience helped make our pilot run a success, and we thank you for your generosity, your interest, your help.  We did an amazing job for our first time out, and couldn’t be happier with the result, and with your help. 

Also, a huge round of thanks to our donors, whose geneosity made the items possible in the first place.  We couldn't have asked for better items to auction.

For those of you who are interested and techno-savy, anyone who sells on EBay can now donate a percentage of their sale profits to LMDA.  There's more information about how to do this on our main Missionfish page: http://www.missionfish.org/NPMMF/nphomepage.jsp?NP_ID=10372 Any proceeds we receive will again, help us be able to support our membership through initiatives such as Early Career Support, Residency, Dramaturg Driven, and Festival Travel Grants. 

The Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas (LMDA) are holding their 1st Annual Online Auction in February 2006 and we'd love for you to be a part of the fun! Harnessing the marketplace power of Ebay, LMDA will raise money to actively support student and early-career literary managers and dramaturgs. Your participation will help them attend LMDA’s 2006 Conference in the Twin Cities.
