Updates:
Transitioning locations
New team members
Rebranding of the organization
First of all, let me begin by sharing my sincere appreciation for you. Over the years, with your support, we have accomplished numerous goals to move the museum's vision forward. Simply, the mission has always been to preserve and educate. All communities, all demographics, benefit from knowing their history.
Currently, the team is in a transitional phase. Sustainability is the key to maintaining our mission. Your donation is appreciated in order to operate alongside other large-scale institutions. It is, after all, tu museo. The museum of your future generations. Thank you for being a part of this journey.
Love,
Lynnette
(Founder / Executive Director)
