CCASM Outreach Committee's First Meeting

For the past several years CCASM has had archaeological displays and activities at a number of public events.  Recently we have been asked to provide more children-oriented activities.  So how could CCASM come up with new ideas for public outreach and include more people in the process?  We decided to form an Outreach Committee.

At the first meeting in September Mike, Doug, Barbara, Elsie, Carol, Sami, and Gabi saw all the displays and outreach activities that CCASM currently has as well as heard how they were used.  And ideas did come - in two cases small changes were suggested, and in two other cases a complete redo was agreed upon.  Five people are now working on the changes as well as developing some more children-oriented activities.
 
Although he could not come to the meeting, David, one of our members who is with the National Park Service, sent us links to the Junior Ranger activities related to archaeology.  So there are a number of ways people can help.  

Anyone with ideas who would like to help is welcome to participate.
