This is due to the fact that our lecturer's schedule only permits him to be with us on a weekend. a WHY NOT TRY BEING A CURATOR If you think the docent curated exhibit "Winter Celebrations" is great then think about being Of\ the curating committee for next year's exhibit. We will have a meeting for all docents curious about the docent curated show on January 28 at 3:00 (Just stay a little longer after the docent seminar). Don't worry, coming to the meeting is not a commitment to be on the committee. You can come and just hear how fun and rewarding it is to curate an exhibit here at the Museum! If you have any questions about the docent ( urated show, you can call Virginia at the Museum or the two co-chairs of this year's committee, Ann Dolowitz and Pam Parrot. • • STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING January Steering Committee will be on the 6th at 9:30 a.m. Remember to park in the spots reserved for the Advisory Board. The security guard will have a list of your names. |
