The MCB Fall Conference is an excellent source of education, networking, training and rejuvenation.  Community members take away valuable resources and new ideas that improve the quality of life for those they serve.     
 


If you plan to attend the 2016 MCB Fall Conference, you can support the MCB Educational Fund by bringing an item(s) to donate to our Silent Auction!   The auction proceeds will be applied entirely to MCB youth programs. What would you like to showcase that represents your community? Be creative!
 
Please say YES and pack an item or two for the auction!  We will receive the donated items at the registration area and ask you to state a value of the item for bidding purposes and for tax deduction purposes (for US residents).

Once you have determined the item(s) you would like to donate, please contact Ron Hopkins by October 7, with a description and value - Ron Hopkins or call the MCB office at 660.383.1034.  This will allow us to have a bid sheet ready when you deliver the item to the registration area.

You will also have an opportunity to take a shot at a 50/50 Raffle during the conference.
