Folding Sunday - NYC, USA: Museum of Natural History (Formerly Folding-Free-For-All)
Any OrigamiUSA members in or visiting the New York City area on the 4th Sunday of each month are welcome to join our monthly folding meetings at the American Museum of Natural History from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. Origami Sunday will be held this Sunday (February 28, 2016). AMNH Events has reserved Room 319 for Folding Sunday since both the School Lunchroom and Rose Classroom are not available February 28th, 2016. This room is on the 3rd floor just before the entrance to the Reptiles and Amphibians. The Children's Lunchrooms in the basement of the Museum of Natural History is the room mostly reserved for the fourth Sunday meetings through the end of next year, subject to some changes. For the May 22nd meeting, the reserved space is the Rose Center Classroom. The Museum will be closed on December 25, the fourth Sunday so there will be no meeting that month. Please bring folding paper plus something to share. It's especially appreciated if you bring a model to teach, but if you're not comfortable teaching yet please bring something else to contribute such as a model to show that you've been enjoying folding, an origami book or newsletter others might find of interest, or paper for the group. We will have a special sharing table" set aside for display of models to teach, models to show, books, publications, and paper contributions. These monthly meetings are a continuation of the tradition Lillian Oppenheimer began over 50 years ago of encouraging paperfolders to get together to teach each other and exchange ideas. OrigamiUSA is able to provide a meeting space - the rest is up to those attending. When you arrive at the museum please check at any information desk for the meeting room number. Remember the Origami by Children To submit an entry, you must be 18 or younger as of the submission deadline, March 31, in the year you are making your submission. Models must be classic origami, without drawing, embellishments, glue, tape, or cutting. For further information: http://origamiusa.org/obc
