MEMO TO THE MUSEUM BOARD
November 19, 2021
To the Board,
Included with this week’s memo you will find the draft Minutes from the November Board
meeting and the draft Agenda for the December Board meeting. Last Friday the Museum had
the pleasure of hosting a special preview event for the White Christmas exhibition. The event
was well attended and received many compliments. It was a delight to see members of the
Museum Board, Museum Auxiliary, volunteers, sponsors, and representatives from the
Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary in attendance. The exhibition opened last weekend and
it was fitting that is was the first arrival of snow. The Museum has sold about 1400 tickets for
the exhibition thus far and has had positive store sales with the inclusion of hand-made White
Christmas themed ornaments designed by Heather French Henry.
I was saddened to receive Marketing Coordinator Tammy Malewski’s letter of resignation, her
last day will be November 26th. During her two and a half years on staff she has had an
enormously positive effect on the Museum and its operations. Ms. Malewski did an incredible
job marketing the Museum to the community and raising awareness, developed outstanding
programming, advanced admission operations, and implemented better technology platforms
such as Constant Contact for e-marketing operations, the Museum’s Point-of-Sale program,
and TicketLeap. She also managed and refined merchandise operations in the Museum Store
along with broadening and strengthening the Volunteer program. These are only a few of the
many improvements she has made to enrich the Museum’s ability to advance its mission.
While Ms. Malewski will be dearly missed, the entire Museum staff wishes her the greatest
success as she embarks on her next adventure. I have decided to wait for incoming Director
Sarah Phillips to review the job description and post the position. Because the Marketing
Coordinator is a key position that works closely with the Director to advance the mission and
vision of the Museum, it is important that Ms. Phillips have the opportunity to lend her
thoughts and input before moving ahead.
Since there will be no memo next week due to the holiday, I want to wish you all a wonderful
Thanksgiving.
Anna Cannizzo
Interim Director
Assistant Director/Durow Curator of Collections
