Something to remember from 2011

     A dream comes true…

Dear members, donors, volunteers and friends:

On Saturday, September 16th, we fulfilled a long-time dream when a group of dedicated members and loyal supporters of the Museum unveiled the sign of the new Tannenbaum Cultural Center.

This moment was possible thanks to the hard work and dedication of many people through many years, including the collaboration and support from various agencies, organizations, and local businesses.

To all of you, please receive our most profound and sincere gratitude.
