We are excited to announce that we are in the process of making a new membership directory. Our membership directory will list email and home address, as well as phone numbers, for each of our members. This is a frequently used tool to help facilitate volunteering in our wonderful organization. If you would not like your information shared please contact the Friends Office at friends@artsmia.org, or 612-870-3045. If you do not contact us, we will include you automatically in the directory.
We look forward to having the directory available to you this year.

A Membership Apology
This message is for Friends members who have recently had confusion surrounding their membership renewal and were asked to renew their membership when they called on the 15th and 16th of August and September to obtain lecture tickets.
Mia has been undergoing changes to their membership system, and the membership committee wants to assure you we are doing our best to see this does not reoccur. We apologize for any inconvenience.
