Anna and John Henry visited Stykemain’s soliciting door prizes for JPHS’s Fall Raffle. Anna told Jim how Covid has hurt the museum. She explained to him that the museum is 100% volunteer, receive no tax money and have to raise their operating budget each year by membership dues, fundraising events and donations. Due to Covid the museum had to cancel their fall and winter events. The Festival of Trees brings in nearly half of the budget each year. Jim says – I think I can help – and made the offer to donate a car for the museum to raffle off and keep 100% of the proceeds! He even went a step further and said that he would pay the sales tax on the car so that the winner will walk away with a 2015 Sonic LT and just need to go get license and insurance!
