The evening proved to be a success and helped raise over $12,000. Boyertown Junior Woman’s Club members selected the Boyertown-based General Carl Spaatz National USAAF Museum to receive 70% percent of the event’s profit.

The remaining funds were distribute­d to other local community organizati­ons: Studio B — $500; Boyertown Community Library — $500; The Boyertown Historical Society — $1,000; The Salvation Army — $1,000; The Boyertown Ambulance- $1,000.

On Friday, April 15, members of Boyertown Junior Woman’s Club presented the Spaatz Museum with a surprise contributi­on in the amount of $9,010.

feet of museum space with 10 exhibits, of which six are interactiv­e. There is a mission briefing room, a gearup gallery, a simulated flying station, and an escape room.
