JOIN THE Friends of the YPBHMuseum

We also offer a sponsorship opportunity at several levels, with membership in the Friends of the YPBHMuseum.  You can choose the one that suits you best:

• Individual membership:  $25/year
• Family membership:  $50/year
• Business membership:  $100/year
• Founders Club membership:  $350 or above (lifetime)

All annual memberships are for the calendar year.

     For the 2012 kick-off membership year…

Individual members receive a YPBHM window sticker, a membership card, and a quarterly newsletter (paper, if you don’t have email access).

Family members receive a YPBHM window sticker, a membership card, the quarterly newsletter, and a complimentary Individual or Family membership to give away to another Yellow Pine aficionado.

Business members (supporting businesses or institutions) receive a YPBHM window sticker, a membership card, the quarterly newsletter (and mention of your business in the newsletter when you join or renew), and a link on our Sponsors page on this website.

Founders Club members receive lifetime Friends of the YPBHMuseum membership designation.  You honor this organization with exceptional support, and we honor you in relatively small but heartfelt ways:  You will receive a special Founders Club YPBHM window sticker, a membership card, and the quarterly newsletter (and acknowledgement therein of your contribution).  Your name will be listed as special donor on our Sponsors page as well as in our annual report, which you will receive a copy of.  Museum visitors will also be made aware of your generous contribution via a plaque displayed inside the Yellow Pine Backcountry Historical Museum.

Here’s where to join the Friends of the YPBHMuseum…

DONATING via a WILL, TRUST, OR INSURANCE POLICY

Another option for some is to include the Yellow Pine Backcountry Historical Museum, Inc. in your estate planning.  If you are interested in learning more about how to make this sort of bequest, we invite you to contact YPBHM president Bill McIntosh – president @ yellowpinemuseum.org – for an overview of the possibilities.

DONATE PHOTOS AND OTHER OBJECTS/INFORMATION

On our Photos page we will be explaining the procedure for submitting digitized images of old photos and other paper ephemera (such as letters, placards, and diaries) when that facility is set up.

We are also collecting originals of these items, as well as other items, both large and small, of historical interest related to the Yellow Pine vicinity.  If you would be willing to donate, or lend longterm, such objects, we would love to hear from you:  contribute @ yellowpinemuseum.org

And we are interested in any other information you may have access to that others would like to know about, such as names of old-time property holders, stories (or snippets thereof) about pioneers and what-it-was-like-to-live-there bits and pieces.  (We will soon have online forums set up for the purpose of collecting these tidbits and tales.) Keep in mind that you might have ideas about what to collect that we haven’t thought of yet! – and if you wonder, please do ask/suggest:  articles @ yellowpinemuseum.org

Of course, with each option, you will be helping to ensure that the excitement of the Yellow Pine Backcountry Historical Museum startup carries on into future years…  We can do a lot together!
