There's an old saying, "There's no I in Team" or "It takes a village to raise a child." In this case - to raise money. The Stone County Historical Museum held two fundraising activities: an indoor yard sale and Bingo in the Park—bringing in $1,100. The Historical Society and Museum proved the two sayings to be true. Volunteers working together as a team and a village being supportive, raised the much needed funds keeping Stone County History and Heritage alive and growing.
Thanks to the community for a successful fundraising weekend for the Stone County Historical Museum, a nonprofit 501(c)(3). Any donation is eligible for a tax deduction on request.
The Historical Museum would like to thank all those who generously donated items, money, and all the folks purchasing items making the indoor yard sale a huge success. A thank you to those bingo players who contributed in making Bingo in the Park a success.
Also, a huge thank you to each one of our dedicated volunteers who hauled, loaded and unloaded items for the sale; those hard working women who organized, priced and set up the sale; to the lady that collected the sale money; and all those that packed up leftover items.
Our sincere appreciation for all your community (our village) support. And also, to all the dedicated volunteers who gave of your time and efforts. Without all of your support, the fundraising activities could never have taken place.
The entire volunteer Historical Museum Team announces with renovations, the progress of transition in moving from one building into the newly purchased historic building (future home of Museum and Program Center), touring the museum is impossible at this time. Genealogical and mapping along with the Book Nook will be open as usual. We ask and appreciate your patience as the volunteers can only work as their personal time permits. Volunteers are welcome!
