Night at the Museum
 
THANK YOU!
A huge thank you to everyone who made a generous donation to the new sign appeal. We have already collected more than $60,000. The new landscaping is attracting individuals and bringing people into the AACA Museum. Thank you to each and every donor!
 
Night at the Museum was another great success this year with more than 300 guests enjoying fabulous food and beverages, while bidding on automotive related items and experiences and enjoying the fellowship of other hobbyists! 
Proceeds from this event will help toward supporting the AACA Club, Library and Museum. Thank you to everyone who attended, bid, sponsored, donated or volunteered to help with this special night!

 
 
Still Time To Donate - Dollars, Time, Automobiles, Memorabilia and more !
 
The end of the year is a great time to consider making a donation to the AACA Museum. You may want to limit what you owe next tax season as we are approaching the beginning of 2010. For those who itemize deductions, a gift is deductible on your income tax return in the year the gift is made. This decreases your out-of-pocket cost of donating the gift. Generally, the effect of the deduction is that the higher your income tax bracket, the more you will save in taxes.
If you would like more information about ways you can make a year end gift, call Myra Toomey at 717-566-7100 x- 116 or via e-mail at mtoomey@aacamuseum.org.
 
 You can also donate your time as a volunteer here at the Museum. We have a variety of opportunities--from gallery guides to helping behind the scenes in the detail shop. Sue Dittmann, our HR and Volunteer Coordinator is anxious to talk with you at 717-566-7100 x-106 or via e-mail at sdittmann@aacamuseum.org.  Maybe you have an automobile that you would like to donate as a gift to the Museum?  Even if it's not Museum quality, it can still support the Museum by being sold. Either way the Museum benefits and you are eligible for a tax deduction. For more information contact Jeffrey Bliemeister, the Museum's Curator at 717-566-7100 x-104 or via e-mail at jeffreybliemeister@aacamuseum.org.
 
 
We'll look forward to seeing you here at the AACA Museum and thank you for your support of the AACA Family!
