Join  Friends of the Eastern California Museum, for our first-ever webinar! This event is held in lieu of our annual meeting.  The annual meeting, usually a potluck held in March, was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Given the ongoing situation and Inyo County directives, our Board determined it is safer to continue to remain distanced. But we don’t want to hold off on our popular presentations!

So we invite you to join us on March 19, 2022 at 3 p.m. for a Zoom presentation by Cynthia
Pridmore titled Ridgecrest Earthquake Sequence 2019 – Insights from the California
Earthquake Clearinghouse.

Please email us at [email protected] to reserve your spot. We will send you the link closer to the
date.
