I want to get some used furniture and create "lounges" on these landings where volunteers can do crafts or history research with visitors in a comfortable setting. Board committee meetings. Like couches?

It was a local history urban scavenger hunt that sent teams of 2-5 people out into the city to track down as many historic checkpoints as they could over the course of an evening.

Who interprets the interests of the community and decides on the relevant themes and activities for the year? Community First Program Design At the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History , we've gravitated towards a "community first" program planning model. That's a more complicated question.

In addition to being an artist, performer and dancer, Alli is also a writer whose most recent piece can be found in the Code Pink anthology, Stop the Next War Now.
