WE MAINTAINED OUR NORMAL WEEK-END HOURS MAY-SEPTEMBER.

THE MUSEUM OPENED for 3 ANNUAL EVENTS and FUNDRAISERS AFTER SEPTEMBER, WHICH ARE ALWAYS POPULAR - THE FALL PIE SALE, AN EDMUND FITZGERALD REMEMBRANCE EVENT, and THE CHRISTMAS COOKIE WALK. OUR MAJOR EVENT WAS A MURDER MYSTERY PARTY HELD IN JUNE AT THE MUSEUM. THE MUSEUM WAS TURNED INTO A 1928 SPEAK-EASY, WHERE ALL THE PASSENGERS ON THE TASHMOO HAD to DISEMBARK AFTER A BODY WAS FOUND ON THE SHIP.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
