The Friends of the North Coast's Natural History Museum is a devoted group of volunteers and community members who have come together to fundraise, organize and develop plans to keep the museum open.

Although we recently received word that HSU did not accept our proposal we are not giving up! We have already raised over $74,000 in pledges -- a considerable amount considering the short time line and we plan to raise more!

If you have been thinking about pledging then pledge now! As we get word out about our continued efforts and continue to communicate this to HSU we want them to see just how dedicated this community is to the museum.

Times Standard Toasts the Natural History Museum Community Group

Roast and Toast

Toast:

* To the devoted group of community members who have stepped up to help preserve the Humboldt State University's Natural History Museum. The group, which includes College of the Redwoods Professor Karen Reiss, among others, has a daunting task ahead. First, they must come up with a plan by Aug. 28 to raise roughly $120,000 -- the university's costs through the end of the fiscal year to keep the museum open. If they are able to clear that hurdle, they then have several months to concoct a strategy to raise a daunting $300,000 to $400,000 annually to keep the museum afloat. While the task sounds enormously difficult, they have the support of nearly all Humboldt County residents, and we applaud them for mounting the heroic effort.
