Looking for work day Information? It's now on our new Blog.
The MRTM has signed the lease for Suite 121, Memphis Central Station and renovation of the space has begun. (The pictures to the left were taken at a recent workday with a group of Boy Scout volunteers.)
Long term, scores of volunteers will be needed for the day to day operation of the museum. We are looking for people who would like to volunteer after the MRTM is open for business. We have yet to define all the positions that will be required, but they are guaranteed to be fun and exciting. If you are interested, click on the "Contact" tab and let us know.
The MRTM also needs donations. Donations fall into several different catagories. The first type of donation that comes to mind is money. Cash is the most immediate need of the MRTM. A lease means rent and rent means money. Then there's utilities, insurance and all the other expenses involved with operation of a museum. We are working on a number of sources of revenue, but donations will always be a big part of the mix. Click on the "Donations" tab to help.
If you are a Kroger shopper, you can donate to the MRTM and it won't cost you a cent! With the Kroger Gift Card Fundraising plan, a donation in the amount of 5% of your purchases at Kroger will be made to the MRTM. CLICK HERE for details.
The MRTM is also looking for railroad artifacts and documents for display at the museum. If you have any such items and would like to either donate or loan them to the MRTM, click on the "Contact" tab and tell us about them.
The MRTM is going to be great, there is no doubt. With your help, we can get there sooner rather than later.
