We invite you to participate in a silent online auction to benefit an exhibition entitled "Woven Threads Through Time: Maya Women, Weavers, and Their Stories".  The exhibit is slated to open in April 2009 at the Weedon Island Preserve in St. Petersburg, Florida, and will highlight the weavings and stories of prehispanic and contemporary Maya women.  Their stories will also be featured on our website, as will video clips and an extensive collection of photographs.

The online auction opens on Sunday, November 30th and will close as noon (EST) on Monday, December 8th.  For more information on the auction, visit: www.buetes.net

Other ways to help with the exhibit and its goals:
--Become a member of the "Woven Threads Weaving Circle"
--With a personal or business sponsorship

[All donations are made to a 501(c)(3) organization and are fully tax deductible]

For every bid placed during the auction, a five dollar donation will be contributed to a fund established to provide scholarships for Guatemalan children to attend school.

Sincerely,
