Giving Season 2021
 

November kicks off the annual year-end giving season for those who want to support their favorite causes. This year, people may easily make contributions to the Scarborough Historical Society through Pay Pal*. 

SHS depends entirely on our many volunteers. You are able to see their work when you visit The Scarborough Historical Museum to experience the exhibits, conduct research, read the articles they write for Owascoag Notes, or visit the organization’s website (ScarboroughHistoricalSociety.org).

Our volunteers are involved with a number of behind-the-scenes activities such as…
•    Sorting and cataloguing museum collections
•    Doing routine maintenance of the museum building and grounds
•    Writing grant requests for programming and building improvements
•    Doing research for articles and exhibits, as well as for researchers who can’t make it to the museum
•    Bookkeeping tasks, including tax filing and bank reconciliation
•    Collecting and arranging archival materials
•    Taking classes to improve their skills
•    Forming and maintaining professional relationships with other organizations
•    Answering questions on Scarborough history for the public and SHS members

And so much more!

Because of the loss of our traditional fundraising (bean suppers, fairs, etc.) we need to appeal directly for your support. This year we are asking for your help with our operating expenses to help with museum heating, lighting, telephone, insurance, and archival supplies needed to protect our many artifacts.

Every donation helps to assure that the SHS can continue bringing you the local history you love. Any amount you can give is greatly appreciated.

Make your tax-deductible donation to SHS on the Scarborough Historical Society Membership Page or through Pay Pal*

Contributions can also be made by sending a check to the Scarborough Historical Society, PO Box 156, Scarborough, ME 04070-0156. Be sure to let us know it’s for the 2021 year-end appeal.

Thank you for your support during this Giving Season.

NOTE: *You do not need a Pay Pal account, donations via credit card are accepted.
