Hi all
First off - thanks everyone for coming to the Lloyd for the meeting.
Hope you all enjoyed it and for those who stayed, that you learned
something useful. If you have questions about PastPerfect, please let
Erin or I know. We're happy to help.
2nd, I forgot to mention something I brought up at the previous meeting,
though there weren't many of us there.
I know you're all aware that here and there, it's been brought up that
"we should all do some sort of group/joint exhibit" - usually in
conjunction with a holiday or something.
At the last meeting I proposed that we make a concrete move toward doing
a collaborative event centered on 2017 for World War I. It's honestly
not too soon to think about planning for such a thing.
We'll be doing something at the Lloyd and I know Kathy at Butler is
already doing something. Bill Dichtl has indicated that they could
tie-in, even though it's a smidge out of their time frame.
It may be that others of you are already doing something or are thinking
about it. If we could coordinate and advertise together or publicize
mutually, I think we could end up getting good press - one because it's
collaborative and two because there would be so many of us involved.
There was a brief talk about having an ad hoc committee for this. If
you all are interested, in order to see if that's something Terrie needs
to push forward on (with the committee), we'd need to know who was
interested in participating.
This is kind of an outgrowth of my experience at the Midwest Museums
Conference. The only way to get noticed is to be big and individually,
we just aren't, but collectively....
So, my apologies for not remembering yesterday to mention it.
Thanks for your patience,
Anna
