Hello Northern California MCNers, The next Drinking About Museums meetup will be on Thursday, March 13 at the Exploratorium in San Francisco! Jean Cheng from the Exploratorium, bowing to peer pressure for a downtown SF meetup, suggested we meet at the Exploratorium for our next Drinking About Museums: SF Bay Area event.
We'll meet at the Seaglass restaurant (http://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/restaurant-cafe) around 6 PM or so for cocktails, beer, wine and food. There's paid parking across from the museum, but it's also very easy to get there via public transportation. I encourage anyone interested in museums, museum tech, or drinking, to show up and join us. Full disclosure: I'll be fishing for local folks interested in an MCN meeting, so bring any ideas you have about projects we could learn from. Come down the south side of Pier 17 (next to TCHO) or the south side of Pier 15 (NOT the entrance area) all the way to the back. Jean and Penny will have a bunch of comp badges for anyone who wants to go to the Exploratorium, open until 10:00 pm. Hope to see you next week!

Small Museums Scholarship to the 2014 AASLH Annual Meeting (Christina DePaolo) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2014 11:34:15 -0800 From: Christina DePaolo <[email protected]> To: Museum Computer Network Listserv <mcn-l at mcn.edu> Subject: [MCN-L] Small Museums Scholarship to the 2014 AASLH Annual Meeting Message-ID: <CAHbNSmVC8Yz84sdg-iGf9W8HAEXAMPD6_3i4tuLBMUETCmythA at mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Apologies for cross-posting. This was forward to me at work and I thought it would be of interest to the MCN community - those who work in small history museums.... Christina *Small Museums Scholarship to the 2014 AASLH Annual Meeting and Online Conference (St. Paul, Minnesota)* The American Association for State and Local History will hold its Annual Meeting and Online Conference in St. Paul, Minnesota from 17-20 September 2014. This year's theme - *Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts* - examines the personal, communal, and organizational journeys that lead to vibrancy, authenticity, social change and sustainability. Unfortunately, many working in our nation's small museums feel as if we can only dream of attending this meeting. In a perfect world, boards would grant every request to fund our professional development. Institutions of modest means, however, may not have the resources to help us become effective stewards of our community's memory. Websites, listservs, and social media constantly offer new sources of technical and psychological support, but nothing is better than the face-to-face fellowship of sharing survival strategies. Every year, increasing numbers of Annual Meeting sessions address issues specifically affecting small museums. These sessions can be as practical and wide-ranging as training, marketing, and strategic planning. Other sessions focus on creative ways to forge and re-energize relationships with the surrounding community. Now in its eighth year, AASLH's Small Museums Committee is offering scholarships to any AASLH members who are full-time, part-time, paid, or volunteer employees of small museums. Each $500 scholarship will cover the cost of the conference registration and the Small Museums luncheon. Any remaining funds may be used to offset travel and/or lodging expenses. To qualify, the applicant must work for a museum with a budget of $250,000 or less. They also must be either an individual AASLH member or work for an institutional member. Application forms are available at www.aaslh.org/SmallMuseums. The deadline for applications is 13 June. The committee will email award winners by 30 June. For questions, please contact Bruce Teeple, Small Museum Scholarship Subcommittee Chair at mongopawn44 at hotmail.com ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ mcn-l mailing list mcn-l at mcn.edu http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l End of mcn-l Digest, Vol 103, Issue 5 *************************************
