Dear All,
ICTP has produced very
nice and unique shopping bags out of our 10-meter-long 50th
Anniversary banner. They
were made at Lister
Sartoria Sociale here in Trieste. They managed to produce 24
shopping bags plus 35 smaller bags. From 4 to 6 May, ICTP staff
and friends will have the opportunity to acquire these through
a silent auction and raffle, the proceeds of which will go to
the Fund for Hunger.
Silent Auction:
The large bags will be on
display in the showcases at the entrance of the ICTP Shop (behind
InfoPoint); each bag will have a number. Bidding sheets for each
bag will be placed near the display case, where bidders will
be able to write their names, contact details and bid amounts. Bidders can always raise
their bid if desired.
Raffle:
The smaller bags will be
raffled at 5 euros a ticket; these tickets can be purchased at
Infopoint from 4 to 6 May.
Announcement of winners:
The winning bidders of the
Silent Auction as well as the drawing of the raffle tickets
will be announced on Monday 9 May at 12:30 in the LB
cafeteria, after which the winners of the large bags can make
their payments and collect their items, while the winning
tickets will be drawn for the smaller bags. Winners who cannot
be present on Monday can pick up their prizes at InfoPoint.
