Fundraiser for Bay Area Discovery Museum

I was a little hesitant about posting this information. My reasons were greedy and selfish. I don’t want the Bay Area Discovery Museum to become so filled with laughing, playing children that my own children do not have room to run around and have their own fun. This is precisely the reason we avoid the Discovery Museum on the second Saturday of each month. That’s the day when non-Members can visit for free. And the place becomes a mad house. However, I just learned that beginning Wednesday, October 1, the free day lands on the first Wednesday of each month. This should clear up some congestion on the weekends…

After a second thought, I reconsidered posting this news about the fundraiser. After all, if the Museum does not raise funds and gain new members, then they can’t grow and improve the museum. Case in point: the waterfall in the Tot Spot. That’s been under construction for a month now… Anyone have the inside scoop on that topic?

The Goblin Jamboree fundraiser takes place October 18 and 19. Admission for members is $12 and the public pays $14. Children under age 1 are admitted free. Admission includes all of the activities, which include pony rides, train rides, a haunted house, a Witches’ School, and more.

Tickets for the Sponsor breakfast go on sale September 1. Sponsorship levels start at $200 for a family of four and go up to $1000 for a table of eight.

A raffle will be held. Prizes include special Disneyland family passes, a signed San Francisco Giants baseball, and various gift certificates.

Hopefully, this turns out to be a very successful event and we hope the Bay Area Discovery Museum overflows with happy families.
