By Terri Harber — Those involved with the Roswell Museum are widening their circle of supporters by reaching out to others.
This intent became a group named “Friends of the Roswell Museum,” which replaces the longtime membership program.
Caroline Brooks, executive director of the museum, explained last week to the Roswell Flood Recovery Task Force that the idea behind the shift in focus is to keep the community informed about what the museum staff is involved with and what offerings are coming up. Updates about the recovery of the facility and efforts to conserve its vast art collection and other valuable materials affected by the October 2024 storm and flood will also be featured.
Perhaps the most important information that will be shared is going to be about upcoming opportunities to participate in the museum’s future.
“Stay connected during recovery,” the postcard offers.
“There are no dues,” Brooks said as she handed out postcards that announce the start of this museum group to everyone in the meeting room.
The other side of the postcard provides a very short membership application.
The card also contains a QR code that directly links to the city’s online form center, where there is a membership application to complete.
The electronic version doesn’t require purchasing a stamp. It also allows the striking postcard to be looked at for a while longer.
Both the paper and electronic forms also ask whether the person is interested in ”community planning opportunities” and “volunteer opportunities.”
