We have discussed the issue of capital improvements to the museum at some length during our previous meetings. At our September 8 meeting, we decided that it was time to bring our ideas to you so they may be considered as part of the plans for Fort • Mellon Park. The minutes and the attached drawing will give you a detailed explanation of the museum's needs. The Advisory Board believes there are potential private matching funds for this proposed expansion. We will be looking into various sources of funding. We realize that this is only a very preliminary proposal but we wanted you to be aware of our ideas. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Grace Marie Stinecipher Chairman Sanford Museum Advisory Board • cc: Kirby VanDerworp
