Hi,
I am still on board for the WWI Centennial. An ad hoc committee is a good idea
to help coordinate the activities.

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
