The program of this event is enclosed herein.

Board Meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of the month unless otherwise noted. These meetings are open to the general membership and guests who are encouraged to participate in all discussions. Because dinner precedes all Board meetings, we would appreciate it if friends RSVP at least a day before, (520) 795-9484.

The following are the Board meeting days through September 2014.

May 28th; June - NO meeting; July 23rd; August 27th; September 24th.

Displays: As usual, our Acquisitions and Exhibits Committee members are busy every Wednesday or Thursday morning preparing new items for display. Our thanks to Luis Romero, Mike Maynard, and Jim Nelson.

One display area is dedicated to Girl Scouts.

All are invited to visit the Museum. Please let us know in advance so that we can have a volunteer available to conduct the tour of the Museum.

Long time volunteer Jack Marcy and his wife have decided not to winter in Tucson any longer. They will remain in Massachusetts year-round.

Our sincere thanks to Jack for his diligent and dedicated service to the Museum for over 10 years. We wish him and his family all the best.
