Six Hometown Heroes Honored

On February 25, the Angel Museum was host to over 55 community citizens gathered to honor the Hometown Heroes.

Angel Museum Annual Meeting

We thank you for your past membership support of The Angel Museum. Your membership has helped to support the operation of the museum while
providing you with access to Beloit’s most amazing local attraction for the past year.

It is again time for our annual membership appeal and we hope we can count on your renewal of membership for 2010. If you are not presently a museum member, we ask your consideration. We understand there are many very critical human needs in our community and these decisions are difficult.  The economic downturn has also had a major negative impact on the financial security of the museum and  we are asking our angel community for support to keep this historical one-of-a-kind Beloit attraction alive. When you determine your membership level, please consider an added donation of what ever amount you can do. Your contribution is tax deductible and will do much to help sustain the museum during these difficult times.

The Angel Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with open membership at a variety of levels to accommodate participation. Museum membership helps to support the day-to-day operation of the museum. The purpose of the annual meeting is to bring a forum in which museum business can be discussed and a new slate of board members elected for the ensuing year. Anyone is welcome; however, you must be a paid member at any one of the membership levels in order to vote on any matters that come before the membership. Memberships can be mailed or brought into the museum before the meeting.
