<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">At last Friday's Regional Reception at Burnaby Art Gallery, BCMA
announced that we have negotiated and booked two successive
weekends in September to host the Canadian Conservation Institute's
2-day, "Heritage Facility Planning Workshop", based on the BCMA-L
response (over 60 interested parties!) earlier this spring.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">We mapped out the geographical origins of respondents and
determined that 1 Lower Mainland location and 1 Okanagan location
would each prove the most accessible to the majority of the BCMA-L
respondents wanting this workshop.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">BCMA now needs to confirm the actual host member institutions in
both these regions for an advance site visit and consultation with CCI
instructors, Siegfried Rempel and Brian Laurie-Beaumont, between
July 9 & 14, as part of tailoring the workshop content to institutions in
the region.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">At last Friday's Reception, we invited "expressions of interest" and</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">announced this general "Call for Hosts" via BCMA-L this week.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>
</div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">I have requested "hosting requirements" for the session itself from CCI,</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">but they have said that they would be prepared to expand the
allowable attendance from 20 to 30 persons, if necessary. </span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">More details will follow.</span></font></div>
