All MFA members are encouraged to attend the annual membership meeting at 4p.m. Monday, May 5, in the Marly Room.  President of the Board Howard Mills and Director Kent Lydecker will report on the past year and on future exhibitions and programs.  John Houser of Wells, Houser & Schatzel will summarize the audited financial statement, and the officers of the Executive Committee will be introduced.  A reception will follow in the Mary Alice McClendon Conservatory.

The Museum of Fine Arts Bylaws (revised 2008) state: “Nominations for Trustees may be made by a written petition from the general membership representing at least one percent (1%) of the Museum members.  Such petitions must reach the Secretary at least 21 days prior to the Annual Meeting.  Any member may sign only one petition.”  For more information, please contact Ellen Stavros, Secretary of the Board, at historybuffva@aol.com.
