<p class="MsoNormal">Dear BCMA Members:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few days ago I sent out a questionnaire
regarding
museum-municipality relationships. I have begun to receive
responses and have
found them to be very informative – thank you! I realize now
that some of you might
prefer not to share this information on the BCMA listserve. I
have therefore
included my contact information below in hopes that you might
be more
comfortable responding privately.</p>
