Next SFBAPG meeting is Saturday, June 25, 2005 at 4PM

A special tour of "Puppets from Around the World" at the S.F. Museum
of Craft and Folk Art, conducted by none other than the legendary
puppet collector himself, Alan Cook. This fascinating exhibit
features over 60 puppets from the Alan Cook Collection in Los
Angeles. Following the museum tour, we will walk across the passenger
bridge to Building C, Room 205 where Alan will present a 35-minute
slide survey of more of his vast collection, and he will talk briefly
about the Conservatory of Puppetry Arts (COPA) in Pasadena.

We will gather at the Museum at 4 PM and begin the tour at 4:15. If
you cannot come for the tour, you're welcome to join us at 5:30 PM in
Building C, Room 205 for Alan's slide presentation.

This is a reception for Alan Cook, as well as a Guild meeting! Also,
hopefully there will be some newcomers who have discovered the event
through the newspapers. Please BRING SNACKS or DINNER-TYPE FOODS!
Let's make this a party! (Drinks will be provided.)

Location: Museum of Craft and Folk Art in San Francisco's Fort Mason
