Construction progress moved ahead this week with more rebar and concrete. Details that are necessary for the project but not that exciting to blog about. Meanwhile, we have been amping up our social media presence this week and excited to share updates!

As part of our Access for All & More Campaign we have been collaborating with local businesses to offer fun raffles, prizes and promotions. This week we’re working with Rococo Floral co. in Bow Market to raffle off a free week-night floral workshop for three people. Rococo is a new business and their floral designs and social media feed are fun and fresh. This promotion is really helping to increase the Museum’s brand awareness and Instagram followers. If you haven’t yet followed us on Instagram do that today! And tag a friend to be entered into this awesome raffle. 

In other news, American Legion Post 19 has donated $70,000 towards our campaign! This morning we held a mini photoshoot with the members at the Museum to thank them in person for their enormous generosity. A special shout out to Gene Brune, former Mayor and Museum Trustee, for his relentless efforts to help us raise the necessary funds.

The campaign has currently raised about 1.86m and we still have a bit to go to reach 2.25m to complete this project. You can help. Donate today to help keep the Museum vital for another 100 years!
