Every year Heritage Preservation encourages libraries, museums, archives, historical societies, and preservation organizations to set aside May 1 to participate in MayDay. This year, make sure your institution is prepared! Any cultural institution submitting a brief description of its 2012 MayDay plans or accomplishments by May 31, 2012, will be entered in a drawing for disaster supplies donated by Gaylord Brothers. Heritage Preservation will also offer its award-winning Field Guide to Emergency Response and Emergency Response and Salvage Wheel at special MayDay prices from April 1 through May 31. 

For project ideas, information on prizes, and the book sale, visit Heritage Preservation's MayDay site, http://www.heritagepreservation.org/PROGRAMS/TFlessons/MayDay.html. Also take advantage of the upcoming free webinar, MayDay!: Create a Game Plan, on April 19 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Lori Foley, Vice President of Emergency Programs at Heritage Preservation, and LeRae Umfleet, Chief of Collections Management at the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, will share ideas, suggestions, and advice on how to do one thing for emergency preparedness. Registration is not required to participate. Learn more at Connecting to Collections at http://www.connectingtocollections.org/featuredresource-mayday/ and www.connectingtocollections.org.
