Schoen Family Charitable Trust Donates to MVAC’s Educational Endowment
Great news for MVAC’s Education Endowment. The Schoen Family Charitable Trust just donated $1,000 to MVAC’s Educational Endowment. Thanks so much to the Schoen Family Charitable Trust for their support of MVAC’s public outreach efforts.
Contributions to our Educational Endowment are particularly important and are especially appreciated. Contributions such as these allow us to continue to bring fascinating information about the area’s pre-European inhabitants and the process of archaeology to adults, teachers, and students through a variety of opportunities such as classroom presentations, fieldwork opportunities, and lectures.
