[BCMA] Small Museum Membership Benefits

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

I've noticed a number of institutions also building in philanthropy options
to membership - e.g. premium memberships, tax receipt options, etc. I was
at Open Space gallery here in Victoria yesterday, for example, and saw
their program: http://openspace.ca/membership

Cheers,
Erica

PS - If anyone has a membership program that is working well and would like
to share details, we are always looking for presenters for BCMA's monthly
webinar series: http://museumsassn.bc.ca/education/upcoming-events/webinars/
