NC Museum Week is May 18-24, 2008

As was the case last year, the North Carolina Museums Council has worked with Governor Mike Easley to have a week in May declared ‘MUSEUM WEEK.’

In 2008, the week runs from May 18-24.

N.C. MUSEUM WEEK is a perfect opportunity for every museum in North Carolina to promote the impact we have on our respective communities. Consider distributing a press release and writing to your government representatives extolling the virtues of your museum. Then encourage your members and volunteers to write similar letters describing how much your museum means to them.

To assist you in this endeavor, NCMC has just posted a copy of the Governor’s proclamation and a sample letter with talking points created by NCMC President Troy Burton on the NCMC website. To view the information, click here and look for the news item in the third (right-hand) column, or go directly to the NC Museum Week page. Either way, we hope you join us in using Museum Week to let our constituencies know how important and meaningful our work is throughout the year – and its positive impact on the economy and lifestyle of North Carolina.
