Apologies for cross-posting.

In the penultimate instalment of the ACA 2011 Conference Host  
Committee's series of social activity spotlights we focus on the  
awards lunch and closing banquet and dance.

Stay tuned tomorrow for a final summary of all we have offered, things  
to keep in mind, and a surprise development regarding one of the most  
popular Conference events!!

Awards Lunch

When: Friday, June 3rd, 2011
Time: Noon – 2:00pm
Where: Churchill Ballroom, Delta Chelsea Hotel

Join your fellow conference delegates, ACA members and special guests  
for lunch followed by the presentation of the annual Archivaria  
awards: the W. Kaye Lamb Prize, for the best overall article, and the  
Hugh A. Taylor Prize, presented annually to the author of an article  
that presents new ideas or refreshing syntheses in the most  
imaginative way. The lunch will also recognize volunteers serving in  
leadership roles as well as the presentation of the ACA's Member  
Recognition Award and Fellow Award.

This luncheon is open to all pre-registered delegates as well as  
special guests invited by the Association.

Closing Banquet and Dance

When: Saturday, June 4th, 2011
Time: 6:30pm:  Cocktail reception, raffle and auction (Churchill Court)
7:30 to midnight: Closing dinner and dance (Churchill Ballroom)
Where: Churchill Ballroom, Delta Chelsea Hotel

Always a highlight, and not just because it is a wrap up to the  
conference, this event provides the opportunity to catch up with the  
people you only waved to while rushing between sessions. Enjoy an  
evening with friends, old and new, a relaxing meal, your favorite  
dance music from past and present, and maybe some local flavor as  
well! This is your last chance to see colleagues from far and wide  
until next year so, unless you plan to stay up all night, don’t book  
that 6:30 am flight on Monday morning!

The ACA Foundation will be holding its annual fund-raising raffle and  
auction in conjunction with the closing dinner and dance. Remember to  
purchase your raffle tickets to win some great prizes and be ready to  
bid for some of the great items in the auction. It is all for a very  
good cause!

Thanks to Maximum Music for their fine music services.  If you would  
like to suggest some music selections for the dance, please direct  
them to [log in to unmask]
