**ARCS Social in Houston** ARCS is pleased to announce our next networking social for both ARCS members and soon-to-be members!
When: April 19, 2018 5 PM – 7 PM Where: Holman Draft Hall 820 Holman Street Houston, TX, 77002 Hosts: Julie Bakke and Kathleen Crain, with assistance from John Obsta, Elspeth Patient These get-togethers are a wonderful way for you to get to know other registrars and collections specialists in your area. They are casual, (no sales pitches!) and fun. AND bring your business card, because at every ARCS Social there is a drawing for a free one-year ARCS membership! Generously sponsored by Tyart.

I am one of the founding board members of ARCS and Registration is my passion and identity. I have been at the Philadelphia Museum of Art for 40 years, so clearly I love what I do. My devotion to the preservation and sharing of great art goes back to childhood – my father was a small but avid collector. I love solving problems and working out logistics. I even like fine arts insurance! Part of the job of a registrar is to safeguard art when it moves, and traveling to exotic places for our worthy work is a welcome side benefit. I just returned from a trip to Denmark, a first for me. I have traveled around the world on a courier trip from Philadelphia to Taiwan to Paris and back to Philadelphia in a week. The Registration community has always been giving, open and sharing and I treasure being a member of it. I am finding it hard to think of retiring as I find registration so fulfilling. But even retirement from my day job won’t stop me from our ARCS mission. **Catch Up on #ARCSchat** Did you miss part 1 of the #ARCSchat on Diversifying the Registrar Profession?
