WISH LIST
Below
you will find our wish list of things to help us progress in the
development of the museum.
SHORT TERM
- BUILDING a
"place for the museum - ideally: a building in downtown Mt Pleasant
that's at least 10,000 square feet with
some green space around it, handicap accessibility. We are interested
in land, an actual building, or a potential leasing option. Out
of the 300+ American children's museums, over 70% were donated
buildings. We are hoping for the same opportunity.
- GROW
EMAIL as many individuals and groups as possible joining
our email list of supporters so we can show the scope of interest in
our community.
- FOUNDING
MEMBERS Increase our founding members as we work toward our
capital campaign total of $3 million dollars in the hopes of every
level of giving being reflected -- from $10 to thousands.
- TOY
MAKERS Local toy makers to participate in future events
and potential
gift shop artisans.
- VOLUNTEER
HELP in a variety of areas.
- ARCHITECT eco-minded local architect
who might have an interest in doing pro-bono work.
- SUPPLIES building
supplies such as lumber, nails, bolts, etc. for exhibits
