The annual Staff Appreciation Luncheon is the Guild’s formal tribute of appreciation for Heard Museum Staff, all of whom support our success in a wide variety of ways, and vice versa. Traditionally a pot luck meal prepared and served by Guild members to Staff, this event usually takes place on the first Thursday in November.
