July Parties, Plays, Screenings in the Backyard!
Here's a sneak peek of the events on the horizon for July. As per usual, Dominick will handle scheduling; this email just serves to give a better sense of what you'll be signing up for -- and of how many fun things are coming up at the museum.
Thanks for helping to make summer at the Reliquary rock!
