On Monday, March 16, the Clayton McLain Memorial Museum and Archives will hold its annual general meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the MAAC.
The evening’s agenda will include an annual report, the nomination of new board members and the establishment of committees, as required.
Members of the community are asked to consider supporting the museum, either as a member of the board of trustees or as a volunteer on one of the museum’s Committees.
The CMMM is about stories. It’s about collecting the stories that contribute to the historical record of Cut Knife and area. Storiesa re preserved by documenting the history of an artifact, by caring for it and also by preserving the archival record, as it connects to the mandate of the museum. However, as important as the collection and preservation of stories are, the public trust responsibility to share these stories is taken just as seriously.
Museum volunteers work to increase the reach of the museum through programming and community activities, through social media and marketing campaigns, but all of this requires resources, time and effort; it means people.
As the museum prepares for the 2015 summer season, those involved invite everyone to attend the AGM to see where new ideas, knowledge and expertise may be put to use.
Volunteer a little, volunteer a lot, museum supporters appreciate every single minute of a volunteer’s time.
Memberships will be available on site at the MAAC, 201 Railway Ave., Cut Knife on Monday, March 16 at 7:30 p.m.
