๐ธ ๐ WHERE THE MONEY GOES๐ ๐ธย
We set a high bar this year - $10,000.
๐พย $7,000 of that helps us to update our technical, storage, and digital needs. Last year, the shared network we used for all of our file storage failed and we were out of commission for two weeks until backups could be restored. We don't intend to let that happen again - not when we have so much information - representing 40 years of volunteer work - to protect.ย
๐ย $1,000 is to help us bring more programs into the community.ย
๐ย $2,000 is to help us begin a new era of narrative and artifact based exhibits in the upper level.ย
