The Philippine-American Friendship Committee presents Pasalubong from our Journey. The afternoon will include two one-act plays, written by Filipino-American playwrights, Jorshinelle Taleon-Sonza and Florentino Aquino Capili.

Please join us for the Jersey City Museum's 2008 Annual Meeting on Thursday, July 24th at 6:00 pm. This yearly affair is our opportunity to thank all of our members and supporters for their help in the last year. It's also your chance, as a stakeholder in the museum, to share your thoughts and opinions with us. If youve attended in the past, you know that it's also a great way to meet and mix with our Board of Trustees, staff and other friends of the museum.
The evening will begin with our Executive Director, Marion Grzesiak, bringing members and supporters up-to-date on the museum's events and yearly accomplishments. Afterwards there will be a light reception and time to view the collection and current exhibitions including "I Love Jersey City", a brand new exhibition which features the public's own 4x6 photographs of our diverse and beloved city.
