The AANM's Collections Committee meeting is coming up May 11th! As usual members and staff are looking forward. Our proposals for next month are only a handful and we can share some more about those in an upcoming blog, but the highlight acquisition from our last meeting, held here at the museum in January, was this Karkey(left); a donation from Mr. Raff Ellis who resides in California and has recently published a book "Kisses From a Distance" . A Karkey is used to distill 'arak' a favorite alcoholic beverage of Lebanon. To learn more about arak and arak making, follow this link:
