- Great opportunities to network (one of the most valued elements of the NPA meetings as reported by attendees)!
Optional Saturday Night Event
Join meeting participants on Saturday night for an outing at City Museum! City Museum is unlike any other museum - it's a unique all-ages playground filled with caves, slides and climbing apparatus made from recycled and found objects. Housed in the 600,000 square-foot former International Shoe Company, the museum is an eclectic mixture of children's playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel made out of unique, found objects. City Museum boasts features such as old chimneys, salvaged bridges, construction cranes, miles of tile, and even two abandoned planes! And did we mention the caves and the slides? For more information check out their website at http://www.citymuseum.org or watch this video starting at 8:30: http://vimeo.com/40615426. Trust us - this is going to be fun!
The cost for this event is $50 and is an additional charge and not included in your meeting registration fees. Cost includes bus transportation to & from the City Museum, dinner in a private reserved room with a cash bar available, and general admission to the City Museum (excludes the roof and the Aquarium).
Seats are limited, and tickets must be purchased in advance of the meeting. Purchase tickets here!
Note: City Museum highly recommends that sneakers or closed-toe, closed-heel shoes are worn in the museum. Sandals/flip flops are strongly discouraged. Please note that, regardless of style, footwear must be worn at all times. We'd also like to recommend that you consider wearing full-length pants or jeans, as you will want to take advantage of our multiple slides, tunnels and various attractions.

We will ask for some demographic information. Your responses will be kept confidential and anonymous. The aggregate results will be used in grant writing and reporting.
