Museum Director’s Notes

By Debbie Benson, Director

“Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, 

it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.” – A.A. Milne, -Winnie-the-Pooh

   I would like to thank each and every person who helped with our Annual Fundraising Dinner Auction. There are many, and each moment from each one made it a FUNdraising success! Our Board of Trustees, Staff, Membership and Friends all put in time, energy and support both monetarily and with great attitudes! Thank you so many times over.

   A big shout out to our Sponsors: AltaOne FCU, Desert Valleys FCU, FireQuick, Hyla Nursery, Meith Operational Solutions, NDTI, The Rusty Plum, Kristy’s Family Restaurant, Jim Charlon Ford, RAD Custom Graphics, PS & PPS and SPOT. A huge thanks to James Bell as our Auctioneer, Charlie White and the team from the China Lake Museum Foundation, The Key Club students, the Team from Casey’s Restaurant and Bar, the advertisers, the basket makers, the donators of items and all of you. A rather large amount of Gratitude!

   We are on to our next adventures this month with the Open Studio Tour! We hope anyone who can, will come out to the Studios! 

   Take care and enjoy the touch of cool in your day!
