Staff size and hours have been frozen for the last two years.No raises in sight.Everything else we have done is “cut to the bone”. The only way to keepthe museum viable is controlling staff hours, slowing all that we do and accessibilityfor you. The rest of the budget maintains the buildings that housethe entire WCHS collections of artifacts, archives, papers, photographs, microfilmbooks, computers, readers, etc. We are however, very grateful toPLRAC and the E.F. Johnson Foundation for grants for our annual Chautauquaat Maplewood Park.In 2011 the Spring Luncheons will be offered again maintaining the sameticket prices; and the Annual Ice Harvest, where we will ask for $2 donations.We are happy to answer any questions you may have about howWCHS is funded. We do not get funding from the Minnesota State <strong>Historical</strong><strong>Society</strong>. We pay them a membership fee. We do not get operational funding from the Legacy Amendment.That is reserved for NEW programming and some capital projects. We do intend to request fundingfor a lift and mainfloor bathroom for the museum in 2011. That does not help with Operations. The Boardof Directors will be planning a major fundraiser in 2011, we hope that you will support it!8
