2009 ACC Membership Meeting at Muse Cafe, Anchorage Museum
Join the ACC at Muse! Seize this opportunity to experience Anchorage Museum's new cafe with members and friends of the Anchorage Cultural Council. We'll enjoy conversation, discuss the present and future of ACC and other cultural developments in our community. We're delighted to be holding the meeting at Muse (brought to you by Marx Bros.), who will tempt us with complimentary light hors-d’oeuvres and no-host service from the menu. Current ACC members will vote on candidates nominated to the Board of Directors, so this is a great time to join or renew!
The Anchorage Cultural Council provides leadership and advocacy for the integration of arts, culture and the humanities in every aspect of community life. ACC is dedicated to activities that stimulate and support the arts, and the cultural growth and vitality of our community.
Please join us for the evening (or drop by beforehand if you're seeing the Lion King). Please reply to e.aigner@anchorageculturalcouncil.org and let us know how many will attend. We look forward to seeing you there!
