<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">The Clinton Museum would also be interested in
learning how other museums in smaller communities manage to keep the doors open.
We are happy to share our info. Clinton is a community of 650 people. Our museum
has been operated by volunteers since 1956. Most of our income comes from
visitor donations. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">We have been supported by an annual
grant from the Village of Clinton. The last few years that grant has been
for $5000/year. The Village leases Clinton’s 1892 schoolhouse to the Museum
Society for $1 per year; and also grants us an exemption on property taxes.

style="FONT-SIZE: large; FONT-FAMILY: georgia,serif">Our board of directors is
wondering how much if any, municipal support Museums in small communities
receive as a yearly grant, or is the Museum funded by the municipality? Our
community is approximately 2500 and we would like to compare notes on this with
similarly sized Villages.</DIV>
