Congratulations to those who need this reminder.
We plan our exhibits 6 months or a year ahead of time and then seek 
funding - in other words we do not do projects because some special fund 
is available and we then tailor it for that application.
However, I appreciate the funding shortage and can see why some museums 
would tailor their projects to available funding.

    ...Hmmm, Larry, judging by the rate of inquiries and the number of
    project applications we are tracking from all corners of the
    province; and the fact that several applications seem to have been
    in progress without prior consultation with the office; /and/ that
    the original May 30 deadline was extended, (of which some
    prospective clients were at first unaware, then decided to proceed
    with project applications after May 30); it seems worth a listserv
    reminder that the deadline is a "postmark" deadline, as such
    reminders of approaching deadlines, (ie Awards & Bursaries, Golden
    Services Awards, Conference and Regional Workshop registrations,
    operating assistance and project grants, etc), are common practice
    on BCMA-L and seem to be appreciated by those who participate.
