The diversity of these facilities allows members to participate in a variety of activities.
Meetings
The Friends meet at the Pink Palace Museum on the 4th Tuesday of each month – August through May. For the convenience of our professional members, there are two meetings a year held at night. They are welcome at our day meetings as well. Throughout the year the Friends prepare for several Fundraising Events, including the Pink Palace Crafts Fair which is in its 38th year. Our homemade donuts and the outstanding juried and demonstrating craftsmen make our award-winning Crafts Fair a popular and anticipated community event.
“How much time will I have to volunteer to be a Friend?”
Not as much as you think! We’re sure that we have several opportunities that will interest you. Everyone has an expertise in some area - cooking, organizing or decorating for a party, preparing for a plant sale, getting donations or sponsors, helping with mailings, docents, working special events, volunteering in the museums, helping with an auction and much more.
