VAM is Extending May Day for the Whole Month!

In honor of May Day, VAM urges all museums to review their disaster plans in the month of May. We also encourage anyone who is a member of a MEST group (Museum Emergency Support Team), anyone who is interested in serving on VAM's Emergency Response Team, and anyone who just wants to learn more about emergency salvage and recovery, to come to one of our special workshops in May:


MAY 8th, 1 - 4 pm: Richmond, VA, VAM Offices
MAY 18th, 11 - 3:30pm: Centreville, VA, Cabell's Mill
The cost for each workshop is $15.
To register, call Bridget or Jennifer at 804-788-5820.
What are you doing in honor of May Day? We'd love to hear from you!
