As of Noon yesterday we were at
$67,000 of our first $100,000 milestone!
We are not out of the woods yet but
the Board of Directors voted to
continue pushing forward as the momentum
continues to grow in the
bead community as well as the local Arizona
community.
We hope to have the entire $100,000
committed by the end of this
month and are planning a no thrills come and see
the museum
fundraiser on May 28th ($50 per person) to push us into the second
phase of our campaign and toward a long term sustainable future
(more details
soon to follow).
Please keep the momentum going and
talk to anyone
and everyone you know about this incredible one of a kind museum
located in Glendale, Arizona
