I will print your suggestions and look at them every day. Even though I have not met with you that often, and, to be honest, in the beginning I even took offence to some of your comments, however, I re-grouped mentally and took your advice. I have already cleared the second floor, which was the least professional. A new exhibit will go up by Spring. We do not have a lot of $$, but we try our best. We are going to reprint and "freshen" the text on our exhibits also. There will be much more to come. <br /> I have learned that just because it has been tried before, we can try it again and it may work. New visitors, new economy, and new year. And for "we have always done it that way"... we, at the Seneca Museum try not to get in that rut.<br />Thanks for all of your help...<br />Linda Solan, Director<br />Seneca Museum of Waterways & Industry.Linda Solanhttp://www.senecamuseum.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931042383463966050.post-3948923657238867662009-10-09T14:17:35.972-04:002009-10-09T14:17:35.972-04:00Thanks Anne--great idea--and I think that boards, ...Thanks Anne--great idea--and I think that boards, committees and staffs who make a bit of time to socialize together--to know each other in different ways--have more opportunities to figure out how to work together well--so here's for pizza!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833927749919826650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931042383463966050.post-76191622556127114902009-10-09T13:31:47.838-04:002009-10-09T13:31:47.838-04:00Great post, Linda.

Collect fines at board, staff and volunteer meetings. It will help to break the habit! And after awhile, you can throw a pizza party for everyone and congratulate yourselves on moving the mindset a bit!Anne W.
