!! FAKE "FUNDRAISING" COMMENT WARNING !!
Some of you may have noticed or been tagged in comments on some of our previous Facebook posts about a fundraising T-Shirt with our logo on it. This is not a Museum fundraiser and we are in no way involved! Do not follow this link thinking it is supporting our museum!

Luckily, the comments were pretty obviously fake this time because the "HS" in MCHS does not stand for "High School" and we therefore have no alumni. πŸ˜‚

Please be careful out there and watch out for these types of comments!
If you see anything like this again, be sure to confirm its authenticity before falling for it!
