Registration Info

Registration is not Required
This museum is rather amazing. On May 25 they have an open house that many of us attended maybe 8 years ago! (Good grief really that long?).

There is something for everyone and if there is interest we could line up a late lunch at The Wave on Metacom Ave.

If you wish to attend lunch, we would need a head count for a reservation there.
So please let me know if you are interested and would like to hang after the Museum visit for lunch/dinner meal.

Please replay Peg Palmer before Friday the 24th Thanks and hope to see you there.
