State of the Museum Membership Meeting
Saturday, Feb. 16, 10:00
A.M. in the Montgomery Gallery

If you’ve read the museum’s newsletter this far, you are just the person we want to hear from at the first, and perhaps, only (very special) annual meeting. Please don’t think it will be an hour of facts and flowcharts. We want to begin by giving a brief description of the JHM’s programs and exhibits in 2007. Then we want to hear from you: How can we improve? What would you like the museum to offer? Have you ever wondered if something you’ve seen somewhere else could happen here?  Ideas for future collaborations? How can the museum make our community a better place to live?

 If you’ve never asked these questions, but would like to hear what others have to say, please join us for this special meeting. Please come and support the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum by sharing your thoughts and vision for our community. Refreshments will be served.
