Fall BACC Meeting Tuesday November 28th

[Matthew Vigneau]

Hello all,

I want to thank Brittany Contratto for hosting our Fall meeting tomorrow at the Museum of Science in Boston. We will be meeting will be held slightly earlier than usual at 12:30 and will and at approximately 2:30 pm. The format for the meeting will remain the same, with a brief introduction by all, followed by a presentation from the Museum of Science staff. Lastly we will be welcomed to a brief tour of museum storage. 

This may be our most highly attended meeting in my time with the BACC. Unfortunately due to such a high turnout we will not be able top accommodate any last minute additions. I am including a list of attendees that I received an RSVP from. If for some reason you are unable to attend or feel I missed your rsvp by accident please let me know. I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow and learning  more about the Museum of Science!

Hi everyone,

We are excited for tomorrow's BACC meeting! A quick reminder for transit and parking notices:

• If you plan to park in the Museum’s garage, please bring your parking ticket inside, so that we can validate parking for free. Also, our garage elevator is currently out of service. If you need a parking spot on the first floor, please call 617-570-4502 before you head to the Museum, and they’ll provide instructions for when you arrive. 
  
  
• If you plan to take the green line to Science Park station, the Green Line service is suspended between North Station and Kenmore. From the MBTA alerts, “Shuttle Buses will be available between Kenmore and Copley/Back Bay. Riders can use Orange Line for alternate service Downtown.” It is a fairly short walk on a nice day from North Station or even the red line's Charles/MGH stop.

When you arrive onsite, head to the main lobby and check-in at the Information desk (Museum map for quick reference). They'll validate parking tickets if you parked in the Museum garage. We'll have a few staff guides bringing people from the lobby to meeting room.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

See you tomorrow!
