Plans are in the final stages for “A Royal Affair,” the biennial fundraiser for the Gustavus library. New to A Royal Affair this year is an online auction that will be activated the week of Oct. 22, 2007. This online auction will have unique items available only for bidding online and not at the evening event. These items can be viewed through the Gustavus website and bidding will close prior to the Oct. 27 Razzle Dazzle*A Royal Affair. Also, the online auction is open to everyone — parents, alumni, students, faculty, and friends of Gustavus — even those unable to attend Razzle Dazzle*A Royal Affair. Watch the Gustavus Library Associates website at A Royal Affair for up-to-the-minute details on the online auction.
