Greetings!

 

These are exciting times for the museum with all kinds of positive change as we roll out our 2011 operational plan. We are making great progress behind the scenes in collections management, organizational development and fundraising.

 

Our school programs continue to be highly popular and reviews of our new exhibitions are wonderfully positive - if you haven't already, be sure to catch "I am Vancouver" presented with the generous support of the TK Foundation. This has been a great start, but there is a long way to go--you can follow our progress on Facebook and Twitter!   

 

The new online version of Above Board is another great way to keep in touch and I hope you enjoy finding out what is going on at your museum-please forward to a friend!


Sincerely,

 

Simon Robinson
