News from the BOSS

Greetings !!!!
It’s hard to believe that March is here and, hopefully , those cold days of winter have passed us by. But even though it was, typically, a slow season at the Museum, there was a lot of activity behind the scenes.

• Run, Jump Fly opened on January 31 and has been very well recieved on weekends
• We’ve added three new interns
• Installed an interactive game highlighting the Tuskegee Airmen
• Angie Gofredo produced a successful “ Culture & Cocktail” community event
• Secured KXAS (Channel 5) as a sponsor for the summer exhibit as well as the current one
• We will renew our current sponsorship for Boeing
• Have made great strides with interaction with the Employee Resource Groups(ERG) in assisting with the various outings that have been planned this year. This group composed of the Gen Now (under 30 employees) , Harmony In Flight (employee singers) and Arts Leadership Council worked tirelessly to assist in making the “Culture and Cocktails” a memorable event. The next one will be held this spring.
• Of course, the Saturday At the Smith program led by Lauren and Chasity began the year with the whirly gigs, stomp rockets and gliders which always is popular with kids.

If you haven’t “friended” the Museum on Facebook, try to do so. Most of our advertisements are displayed there as well as daily updates on activities. We are also located on Twitter, Instagram and Google Plus.
I can’t say it too often, but thank you, thank you, thank you for all your time in making the C.R. Smith the impressive destination it is.
