Dear Mayor & Commissioners:
The members of the Advisory Board of the Sanford Museum wish to call your
attention to the minutes of our June 9, 1998 meeting in which you will find our ideas for
the expansion of the museum.
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
