2009 Bookstore and Silent Auction

Conference Bookstore

Conference Bookstore

The on-site Bookstore in the Exhibit Area is being operated by the Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC). Their Community Bookshelf specializes in titles on cohousing, intentional community, sustainability, group dynamics, and right livelihood. This unique collection is the best place to get some inspirational and how-to community books, or fill out your reference library. Be sure to browse the selections.

The bookstore is open from 12:00pm on Wednesday, June 24 through Sunday, June 28 at 4:00pm.

If you have a few book titles that you'd like to make available to conference participants, you can make arrangements to consign them on a space-available basis. Contact Laird Schaub (laird [at] ic [dot] org) or just stop by the bookstore.

Silent Auction

The 2009 Silent Auction will be available on tables next to the Conference Bookstore and is in addition to the Live Auction at the Saturday night banquet. Some auction items appear in the Auction Catalog. Silent Auction bidding will commence at 12:00pm on Wednesday, June 24. Visit early and bid often! Please bring your wallet and have fun as you “play” with the other attendees. Bidding for the silent auction closes at Sat 1:30pm and you can pick up and pay for the items you’ve won at the Conference Bookstore on Saturday afternoon, or on Sunday.

Proceeds from the silent auction will be split between Coho/US and FIC. This is your chance to get some unique and amazing bargains – and support two great causes at the same time. Please bring your wallet! If you have items to donate to the Silent Auction, please contact Laird Schaub (laird [at] ic [dot] org) or stop by the bookstore.

More auction specifics will be announced at both the Friday night and Saturday morning large group sessions. A list of winners will be available on late Saturday afternoon shortly after the auction closes.
