Re: TSG call for papers for 2005 AIC meeting- update



HI Nancy,

Chris Hadsel (of VMGA) and I are working on a
presentation for ICOM 2005, which will deal with
making conservation issues concrete to the general
public.  It will showcase not only incorporating
volunteers into the treatment process, but also
related public relations issues around the Painted
Curtains.

DOes this fit your general topic?
