The remainder of the funding for salaries, activities, research, maintenance of the library and buildings, grounds upkeep, updating and acquiring displays, must be raised by the museum staff, the Board of Directors, and the FCHM Foundation. Over the years, this has been a very difficult situation. As you can see from the accompanying chart, we are anticipating a deficit in the year 2006. A gift from you would be greatly appreciated. Even very small donations such as $2.00, $5.00 $10.00 or more do add up. If you enjoy the activities and displays provided by the Museum and Historical Village, would you please consider a gift or a monthly pledge to help us meet our expenses. Your contribution would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU.
