Where History Comes Alive!
Dear Members & Friends:
Heritage Square Museum has witnessed some amazing growth. Practically every week this year (our 40th Anniversary), the museum has had something going on. This slate of programs, events and exhibits has led to record attendance to the museum. Through August we have had more visitors than in all of 2007. Our education programs, which once served fewer than 400 students yearly, now serve over 1,200.
In 2010 the museum is planning its greatest period of expansion in decades. A circa 1920’s drugstore (complete with original furnishings), the recreation of historic windows on the Lincoln Avenue Methodist Church, an expansion of the Victorian Fence Project and important infrastructure improvements to meet our growing needs make for an exciting opportunity to move the museum forward. However, we need your help now to make this happen.
The museum will host our 40th Anniversary Celebration at the historic San Antonio Winery on Saturday, November 7, raising critical funds to make this expansion a reality. Funds from this event will help to maintain current staffing levels, a necessity to continue our growth.
The event itself, of course, is going to be fantastic. Special behind-the-scenes tours of the winery, old cars, costumed docents, a lovely Italian luncheon, special presentations and a soon-to-be-announced special guest will make this an afternoon you won’t soon forget. And what is special about this besides attending our fancy soiree? A limited edition bottle of wine with a one of a kind Heritage Square wine label, available only at this event. Tickets to the event are $125 and are tax deductible to the amount allowed by law.
Please join us at Los Angeles’ original winery, have a great time and know that you’ve helped keep history alive.
Sincerely,
Saline Davies
President, Board of Directors
