Pews won't work so well and people will not be able to take notes effectively or be able to handle any materials the instructor may hand out to work on. Also, the sanctuary may be difficult for acoustics due to the size. Do they have an educational room in the basement that is smaller? At this point my guess is that we will see 15-20 people, although it will depend on the response once PR starts in the next two weeks. We try to cap these at 30-35 at most so it keeps the workshop feel and interaction between the participants and the instructor. I did get a call from someone at the county historical society that was going to promote the workshop as well. Currently no one is signed up. The first e-mail blast on it will go out in the next two weeks, as soon as I have some more text on content from the instructor. That will direct folks to the HSM website for on-line registration. I also plan a one-page flier that you can use for Thumb area distribution with a registration form they can mail in. I will do that also when i get TJ's text. For lunch I think it would be easiest to line up a local sandwich shop like Subway if you have one for sandwiches or a party sub along with some chips, pop, coleslaw or some such thing and a dessert like cookies or brownies. I'm open to other ideas if you want to pursue something else locally. We normally target a max of about $5-6pp for lunch, which is why Subway or similar arrangements work well. My guess is that TJ will need a screen. I think he brings his own LCD projector but I will check with him. Larry J. Wagenaar, Executive Director The Historical Society of Michigan 1305 Abbott Rd.

Hi Larry, The place we will hold the seminar is in our Huron City Church. It has pews set up for about 200. I've included an old photo of the inside.

Hi Patty, Now that Michigan History Day is nearly wrapped up I can put more focus on our summer activities including the Basic Curatorial Skills workshop on July 20. I have asked the instructor to write 2-3 paragraphs with more information on what he plans to cover. As soon as I have this I will share it with you and also mount it on our website. In the next couple of weeks I want to do an e-mail blast to HSM members and historical organizations statewide on this workshop. We have found this works better that direct mail much of the time. I would like to see how well this develops registrants before we do a separate mailing. A mailing would likely be targeted to people living in the Thumb and a circle reaching to Lansing and Detroit. Could you let me know what the room is like where we will do the workshop? What is the seating capacity if we put people at tables facing forward in a workshop arrangement?
