Successful "Night for the Museum" fundraiser |

The fourth annual "Night for the Museum"
fundraiser was held at the Museum on October 25,
and was enjoyed by a sold-out crowd of nearly
100. This event has become the major public
fundraising event for the Boundary County
Museum, and this year’s dinner has proven to be
by far the most successful. The prime rib and
chicken marsala buffet was catered by Jill
Nystrom and the Rusty Moose followed by raffles,
games, and a live auction with a wide variety of
donated items. The event netted nearly $8,000, a
50% increase over last year’s dinner. All
proceeds will directly benefit Museum
improvements.
This event is an all-volunteer effort on the
part of Museum supporters. Past dinners have
funded a variety of projects, including an
automated fire alarm system for the Museum,
exterior door replacements for energy
conservation, and a new furnace in the Portrait
Hall.
The Museum Board of Directors would like to
thank the many sponsors, donors, and volunteers
who made this event a success. Special thanks go
out to Jill Nystrom for donating the food
preparation and catering, and to Dave Gause for
his excellent and entertaining auctioneering
during the evening.
