You may well have gotten this information in your inbox as well, if you subscribe to our GMOA listserv, in which case feel free to ignore it, but we know the blog doesn't overlap perfectly with those who want the emails.

As we work toward a bigger and better tomorrow for GMOA, we have been working on getting some feedback from our patrons on how best to reach you and what types of programs and exhibitions you would like to see from us in the future.

We have developed an online survey through Survey Monkey, which can be reached by clicking on this link. It is quick and very easy to take. Please take the time to fill it out, we would love your feedback.

At the end of the survey is a chance to win a free 1-year family membership to the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art, the benefits of which can be seen here.

CL80

Yesterday, the museum and the State Botanical Garden of Georgia threw a surprise birthday party for C.L. Morehead Jr., a man who has been so good to both of our institutions for many years. Tons of C.L.'s friends and family were on hand to yell "surprise!" and sing "Happy Birthday." A photo gallery is below:

Yet another link

Our patrons are so bloggy! We just found out about Beauty Everyday, the newish blog run by Athenians Kristen Bach, Rebecca Wood and Rinne Allen. These three ladies have a lot to do with r.wood studio, which, among many other contributions to the museum, provided favors for the last Elegant Salute (which Allen co-chaired). Their blog is a great collective effort to document and spread the beauty of the South and, specifically, of Athens, Ga., and we think you should all bookmark it.

More linkage

Betty Alice Fowler, our grants writer, just alerted us to the fact that one of our wonderful patrons, Beverly Bremer, who has given much to the museum in the way of time, funds and objects and serves on the museum's Decorative Arts Advisory Committee, has a blog!

The Silver Lining, which is associated with Bremer's store, Beverly Bremer Silver Shop, in Atlanta, will focus on (what else!) silver, and Bremer already has posts up about the fluctuating value of silver as a precious metal, different kinds of asparagus servers and the fact that you can let the shop know your flatware pattern if you are missing pieces, so that they can keep an eye out.
