Museum and website says thanks

THE Millstreet Museum and Website extend thanks to the public on contributing €1,922.88 towards their recent church gate collection.

This is the principal fundraiser for both the museum and the website, where the major cost is insurance cover which absorbs a significant portion of overall funds. Heating, lighting and communication costs are also quite substantial.

Millstreet Museum curator Seán Radley says, similar to many voluntary fundraising projects, recent annual collections have differed from previous years.

“In order to sustain the local service it is hoped that some additional form of funding may become available throughout the coming year to allow us meet with ongoing expenses. Heartfelt thanks for helping us to maintain these local services”, he said.

And there is an opportunity for people nationally and internationally who may at any time wish to contribute towards the upkeep of the museum and website services.

“To this effect we have arranged to set up an electronic system with the Bank of Ireland here in Millstreet where our Museum/Website account exists whereby anyone can transfer a desired donation to the account by just quoting at one’s own Bank our relevant numbers”, said Seán.

The numbers are IBAN No.: IE22 BOFI 9058 0334 0531 43 and the BIC No.: BOFIIE2D.
