Liz,

The L.A. Times ran an article about efforts by the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art to attract younger members via a "tiki" party.  You can
access the article at www.latimes.com, then search for an article
entitled "Museum parties con tiki".  I think you have to register
on-line to access the article, but there isn't any charge associated
with doing so.  Good luck!

Subject: Information on Recruiting Younger Members (21-50)

Hi. I am faced with a frightening deadline. A reporter called and wants
to
interview me this morning regarding the challenges museums face in
recruiting younger members (21-45/50). Do you know of any articles
(Museum
News, AASLH) or anything on the web that I can use as reference when I
talk
to her. EEK.
