MUSEUMS TO RECEIVE 10 PERCENT OF SHOP SALES THROUGH OCTOBER
The care of historical resources damaged or at risk due to Hurricane Katrina and congregations and communities affected by the hurricane will be the recipients of 10 percent of the proceeds of Museum Shop sales through the month of October.
Funds will be donated to the American Association for State & Local History (AASLH), which is working with the Southeastern Museums Conference to assess needs of museums affected by the hurricane. AASLH is also developing a database to centralize the offers of goods, services, and space for the recovery efforts for all types of museums, regardless of discipline. For more information on the American Association of Museums response to the disaster and its reports on museums in the affected area, click http://www.aam-us.org/aamlatest/news/hurricane.cfm
The Museum also will be donating funds to the Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life, which has established a relief fund to aid congregations and communities affected by the Hurricane Katrina. For information on the Goldring/Woldenberg response to the hurricane, click www.msje.org
