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] For more information: ACA Annual Conference website: http://archivists.ca/content/annual-conference ACA Annual Conference 2011 online program: http://www.archivists.ca/confprog
