Hello, I have a few questions:

1. Does anyone know of an average time span to allow a new building to off 
gas before moving in collections? (Brand new building-all new materials) 
Carpet? (There is not much in the space) paint? Other things to watch out 
for?


2. Our museum is in the process of creating a group called "Museum 
Associates". This group is looking into raising money for special programs, 
handling membership, and possibly starting a gift shop.  They are still in 
the planning phases.  I was wondering if anyone might have suggestions on 
bylaws, structure, mission, and other misc. needs for starting a group.

Thank you in advance for your help and assistance.

Marielle
