It was brought to our attention that the post with the Membership letter may have been considered criticism of the City of Eureka. The post was not intended to be criticism of the City of Eureka and we did not want our followers to post criticisms of the City of Eureka. The post was an effort to gain members/donors for the Museum. The Museum has received funding from the City for over 40 years for which we are very grateful. Over the years we have lost members/donors due to death and the funding from the City became more relied upon by the Museum for operating expenses. The Museum needs to increase membership, hold fundraisers and do whatever else we can to cover operating expenses. We have seen an dramatic increase in our fuel bill, we were told to expect a significant increase in our insurance premiums, etc. We are sure everyone has seen these increases in their cost of living/cost of doing business. The Museum is not destitute, we have funds for projects and money set aside for roof repair when needed. We appreciate all our members, donors and visitors. If you would like to become a member, the Membership letter is in another post. If you have any ideas or suggestions on how we can raise memberships or raise funds for the Museum you can send us a message via our page, there is a Send Message Button.
