ARC closed this Saturday, May 7

The Archives & Resource Center (ARC), which is normally open on the first and third Saturdays of each month, will be closed on Saturday, May 7, 2011, because the Car Show is taking place in downtown Culver City that day, as are several other events that members may wish to attend.

The ARC will be open on the third Saturday in May, the 21st, from 1-3.
