N.B. I am posting this on behalf of the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum.--K.B. Friends of the Mark Twain Museum, There is a new type of grant. For these, qualified projects are accepted, then they are awarded on the basis of voting on line! We have been accepted for a Tourism Cares grant to assist with restoration of the Becky Thatcher House. Please log in to http://www.tourismcares.org/save-our-sites/vote-for-a-site and vote for the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum. This can be done once a day from now through December 3. We are also in the running for a much larger grant of $250,000 for the Becky Thatcher House through Pepsi. As soon as we have voting details we will forward them for this second grant. Thank you for your assistance in helping secure these grants. Please forward this message to your friends, post on Facebook, or any way you can help spread the word. Sincerely, Henry Sweets, Curator Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum 120 North Main Street Hannibal MO 63401 573-221-9010 extension 405
