We want your stuff! For our silent aution. To benefit this wonderful event. So help!

It's almost time for MCC-Maple Woods' annual Storytelling Celebration! The city-wide event, now in its 12th year, will be held Nov. 1-5, 2011 and will feature national storytellers Dan Keding, Leeny Del Seamonds, Gene Tagaban and Loretta Washington.

Each year, Maple Woods hosts a silent auction, open to all MCC students, staff, faculty and the community, in order to support the event. ALL funds raised through the silent auction are used to offset costs and plan for the next festival.

We are now taking donations! If you would like to personally donate an item - be it  delicious, artistic, interesting or unique - or know of a local business that might like to support the event, please contact Dusty Mills at dusty.mills@mcckc.edu or 816.604.3170.

Get crafty, get creative, get involved!

Are you a basket artisan? A papercraft prodigy? A fabric afficianado? If so, we need you!

MCC-Maple Woods hosts a silent auction each year to benefit the Kansas City Storytelling Celebration. Any donations will be accepted (food must be commercially prepared and packaged - apologies to the amateur and not-so-amateur Betty Crockers out there) before the auction opens on Nov. 2 in the MCC-Maple Woods Student Center.

If you would like to donate an item for the auction, please contact Heather Kelly-Perez at 816.604.3007 or email mw.storytelling@gmail.com.

We thank you in advance, and we are happy to prominently display your name and or business along with your item - free advertising!

Regional Storytelling Concert showcases local line-up

Regional Storytelling Concert

Where: MCC-Maple Woods Student Center
When: Nov. 4, 2010
Time: 7-9 p.m.
Cost: $3

The Midwest is full of fantastic storytellers, and many of them are gathering at Maple Woods for the Kansas City Storytelling Celebration.

Tellers from Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois, many of whom have been involved with the event for several years, will be weaving stories of all kinds at the Regional Storytelling Concert.

This event will also feature a silent auction, the proceeds of which will go right back into next year’s Storytelling Celebration. Stop by and bid on everything from gift baskets to mouth-watering pastries to unique objets d’art donated by some of our multi-talented tellers!
