The tuna museum is greatly appreciative to receive 2 donations recently in the name of a deceased relative.

1. Pictured below, Claire LeBlanc of Massachusetts made a donation in the name of her late father, Delphis LeBlanc who was an avid tuna fisherman.

2. The family of the late Carl LeBlanc made a museum donation from the proceeds of an estate yard sale during the recent Wedgeport Community Yardsale.

We wish to sincerely thank both families for their donations and for supporting our tuna museum.

If anyone wishes to donate to the museum, as a registered Canadian charity, we would be happy to provide you with an official charity receipt for tax time.
