MUSEUM GET HELP WITH CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Geneseo—A $21,750 check was recently presented to the Geneseo Historical Museum by the GIFT Foundation. “These funds are from the Bill and Susan Sherrard Trust,” says GIFT Foundation Chairman Brett Lohman.
Museum Curator Angie Snook said that the funds are earmarked for capital improvements. “We need a new heating and cooling system and major repairs to our roof,” she said. “This will go a long way in getting that done.”
Snook noted that she had known Mr. Sherrard since she was three years old and that he was actively involved with the museum for many years. “He was a fun and interesting person to be around and would have been very happy to that we received his gift and how we are going to use it.”
Lohman noted that GIFT works very hard to insure that the desires of donors are honored. “Establishing a fund that is associated with a community foundation like GIFT is a hassle free way to make future gifts in a donor’s name to their favorite causes.”
