TAS Annual Meeting Volunteer Opportunity
The TAS Annual Meeting Local Arrangements Committee (LAC) is seeking volunteers to assist with the Artifact Identification during
the Friday Night Public Forum.
This outreach event will accompany Dr. Reid Ferring’s keynote presentation and will provide members of the public an opportunity to bring artifacts and archeological finds for informal identification and discussion.
Volunteers will help engage with attendees, examine artifacts, discuss regional archeology, and promote stewardship and preservation.
Anyone interested in volunteering
should email am-organizer@txarch.org
Volunteer Opportunity
Many libraries choose to follow a summer reading theme provided by the Collaborative Summer Library Program. This year's theme is "Unearth a Story."
We have already gotten multiple requests from libraries for archaeology programs for children K-12th grade.
If you are interested in presenting an archaeology program or interactive activity that would be suitable for children, and you are willing to travel to a greater DFW area library, please let us know.
