The PA FF Museum Assoc. is a good organization and deserving of your support.

The banquet will include a painting of mine that you can bid on and is a good time.

Sounds like fun. Where do the proceeds go? How are they spent?

The PFFMA is an all volunteer, non-profit organization that depends on support by memberships as well as fund-raising events to keep the museum and building up and running. The fall banquet and auction of donated items is a big part of their funding.

Everyone that travels through the area should take time visit and support the museum.

Attached is a list of donors and more info about the event.
