Abstract
A modular message center consisting of at least two multifunctional modules can be assembled with the modules in at least two different relative positions. The modules incorporate a plurality of messaging and informational functions, such as cork board, dry-erase, adhesive notes, calendar, and magnetic message board. The main module is, preferably, square so that the supplemental modules can be attached to either side, top or bottom, with equal facility. The modules can be arrayed in horizontal, vertical, extended horizontal or extended vertical formats. The message center may be, for example, hung on a wall or magnetically affixed to a metallic surface, such as a refrigerator. The frame around one or more of the modules can be fitted to permit storage of felt tip markers or other writing implements along the length of frame member.
