Museum Curator Suzanne Close
- Several people have signed up for the Ming Tree class. She will coordinate scheduling the class with Sandy Peterson for January or February.
- Don and Gail discussed reports from members about concern that items in the display windows get dusty. Suzanne explained about the challenge of keeping the displays clean. She said that due to the fragility of some of the rock specimens it is not possible to run a duster over all the displays. She will schedule a time to empty the windows to do a complete display. Carol will recruit volunteers to help with the project.
