The membership survey conducted in December 2007 revealed
unanimous support for renovating the upstairs rooms of the Hodges
Building to expand the museum. We will need close to $80,000
to complete the needed renovations to the building that will
allow all the rooms on both levels to be used for exhibits, museum,
storage, library, office, etc. We already have $8,000 in donations
so we have 10% of our goal.
Your contribution will help us attain our goal!
