WEST BLOOMFIELD HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEEDS YOUR HELP!
In these challenging times, WBHS must cancel its primary fund raiser, the 2020 Community Yard Sale
You’ve made the sale a success for 28 years and we miss you! This year we ask for your support in a new way to meet some pressing needs. Gifts are tax deductible! See below.
PLEASE CONSIDER A GIFT TO OUR “HISTORY FOR ALL 2020” FUND DRIVE
Added bonus: Your donation goes twice as far! The first $1500 we raise will be matched by a generous donor.
WHY DONATE?
You can help achieve our main priority for 2020 – an accessibility ramp. Many seniors and others are unable to visit our exhibits and programs because of limited mobility. The ramp will ensure that all who want to can take part.
The Historical Society operates under a NY State Charter, expiring in 2021. To qualify for renewal, we must take measures to improve accessibility and safety.
Your gift will keep the history of West Bloomfield – Ionia – North Bloomfield alive by ensuring access to all, protecting our community’s donated artifacts, preserving our landmark building, and assisting with costs in the coming year. We look forward to welcoming you in 2021!
