$25 FROM YOU CAN MEAN AN ADDITIONAL $100 to $300 FOR PMH!!!

Thanks to a generous membership matching grant from the Paloheimo Foundation, the Museum receives $100 for every member who renews at the Sponsor level or higher.  Once we reach our membership levels from 2007, the Foundation increases their donation to $300 per membership!

Please consider upgrading your membership today!

We would like to offer our Active and Friend level members the opportunity to upgrade to the Sponsor level at the special price of $100.  If you choose to upgrade, we will extend your membership expiration date so that you receive a full year of benefits at your new level.  All you have to do it pay the difference between the price of a Sponsor level membership and what you already paid in membership dues this year.

This means if you are an Active member, you can upgrade for just $50, and if you are a Friend member just send $25!

Help us make your donation go further!
