May is Museum Month is fast approaching! Here are five great ways to get this important awareness program working for your site...

* Post your May event on the OMA website (it's easier than ever!)
-    Conducting a lecture series? Having a children’s activity day? Let the OMA and the public know by posting your event on the OMA website.  

* Invite your MPP and local media to attend the event
- Want to involve your MPP and share with them the activities that your museum is doing in the community? Invite your MPP to attend your event(s). Don’t forget to notify your local media providers to cover the event.

* Create ecoupons and send them to the OMA
- Offering a 2 for 1 discount in May? Or a Museum Passport for multiple museums? Let us know! Create e-Coupons and send them to the OMA. The OMA will post them on the May is Museum Month website where members and the general public can download the coupons.

And coming up...

• Consider taking advantage of OMA's reduced ad rates for the annual Globe & Mail supplement. The OMA will be providing more information and updates on this opportunity in the near future.

 • Use the May is Museum Month wordmark. Use your website and promotional materials to get the word out on May is Museum Month. We will have the MMM 2010 website up and running shortly with downloadable versions of the 2010 wordmark and logo available.
