28 AIMS AND BENEFITS The Museum established the Friends of the Western Australian Museum as a way for members to enjoy the best that it has to offer, and to gain a true appreciation of Western Australia’s rich natural and cultural heritage. To achieve this, the Friends organise a diverse range of social and educational activities, presented in a friendly and congenial atmosphere. These events broaden the appeal of the Museum to the community, and help to maintain and enhance the Museum’s pre-eminent place in Western Australia’s cultural life. A quarterly publication, Museum News, provides information on Friends activities, as well as on exhibitions, activities and other events at all Museum sites. The Friends of the Western Australian Museum association is a member of the Australian Federation of Friends of Museums, which in turn is a member of the World Federation of Friends of Museums. Membership entitles Friends of the Western Australian Museum to reciprocal benefits, where available, at many leading Australian and overseas museums and galleries. The Friends office is located in the Roe Street Cottage in the Museum’s courtyard at the Perth site. TRANSITIONS The year 2000–2001 has been one of significant changes for the Friends of the Western Australian Museum. From June 2000, the Friends Coordinator, Sara Meagher, took long-service leave and subsequently retired effective 5 December 2000. Her outstanding contribution to the Museum over 40 years, including five years as Friends Coordinator, was recognised by the Council of Friends at a farewell function held on Western Australian Museum Annual Report 2000–2001 Friends of the Western Australian Museum 20 March 2001, and the following day by the Museum Trustees at a special luncheon in her honour. Joanna Salomone was appointed Acting Coordinator from June 2000 and her secondment to the Museum was extended in March 2001 to June 2001. During that time, a membership drive was instituted. Improvements were made to Museum News, including a revised layout, inclusion of feature articles, increased distribution and outreach. These changes would not have been possible without the much appreciated assistance of the Publications staff. ‘New look’ activities were also developed for Friends, aimed at attracting a broader membership base. Introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) placed additional demands on Friends administration, and in late 2000 a volunteer bookkeeper and administrative assistant was recruited to assist in the Friends office. The Friends Council and the Museum discussed strategic development of the association, and broad directions were agreed to at a meeting on 12 December 2000. However, by May 2001 it became apparent that the serious financial situation facing the Museum would require a reduction in staffing. As a result, the Coordinator’s position was not filled when it fell vacant at the end of June 2001. An interim strategy for maintaining services and for providing continuing opportunities for Friends to interact with the Museum staff and collections was agreed to at an extraordinary meeting of the Friends Council and Museum staff on 19 June 2000. These arrangements are to be reviewed at the Friends Annual General Meeting in September 2001. EXHIBITION GRANT On 20 September 2000, the Hon. Minister for the Arts, Mike Board, presented Friends President John
