Hi everyone

As advertised in the pages of MCV, the Archives is having an open day event at the Archives on Wednesday June 27th at 6.30pm.  This event is open to everyone who is either already a volunteer at the Archives or is interested in becoming a volunteer.

The night will provide an opportunity for people to share stories about their experiences of volunteering, talk about their own interests and find out more about current volunteering tasks at the Archives and how to get involved.  Of course there will also be a tour for those people less familiar with the Archives.  It should be a fun and relaxing night where you get the chance to meet other volunteers.  Light refreshments will be provided.

For catering purposes please rsvp to daniel....@deakin.edu.au by Tuesday 26 June.

All best wishes

Daniel
