As you may recall from last month’s update, the APA Program is in the process of searching for the new HomeSpun curator. The curator will be in charge of providing shape and direction for the exhibition, public program series, and middle-school curriculum on Indian American history and culture. We were fortunate to start with a large and highly qualified pool of applicants. We are now well into the selection process and hope to have someone join our team soon. Keep your eyes open for the arrival of our new VIP!
Fundraising has recently experienced a highly anticipated uptick. Just this past month, we learned of two promising HomeSpun fundraising opportunities—one event in New York City and the second in Silicon Valley. We are in the preliminary planning stages for the NYC event. This event will mark the first time HomeSpun visits the Big Apple! In California, a team of hardworking volunteers has plans underway for an evening event on October 24, 2010. The trip to California is poised to be a large success (over 150 save-the-dates have been distributed!).
