We are requesting that you write a short letter asking each of the listed persons to support returning
the Museum Assistance line item to the FY 2009-2010 budget. Gov. Rendell has proposed $0 for this
line item that funds the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission's (PHMC) grant program. That program provides
the majority of funds for our society and without those monies the society will be seriously affected.
The Franklin County Historical Society - Kittochtinny returns much more than it's grants amounts to
the community in goods and services and serves at least 2,200 visitors every year. With the reopening of the John Brown
House we were looking forward to an expanded tourism program. All of our functions will be under pressure if monies
are not restored.
Please help by making your voice heard to:
