ROOF FUNDRAISER

The Saga of the Roof

In 1985 our M.J. Anuta Research Center was built. That makes it’s roof over25 years old and was slated for an new roof this year.

In 1995 when a Conservation Assessment was made of the Heritage Museum building and a five year plan laid out for care of the property. At the end of that plan, Bill King the then Director/Curator said “we should consider that the roof will need to be replaced in the near future”.

Annually since then, as the Budget was presented, it was noted that a new roof was in the future but had shown no need for immediate replacement. Money was collecting in the Foundation Funds for such a need.

In the Fall of 2010, Menominee experienced a strong wind storm with swirling winds up to 60 miles a hour. Mike Kaufman, our Director, found some 50+ shingles fom the Heritage Roof blown to the ground.The roof projects could no longer be postponed. The insurance covers part f the costs, but another $11,000 is need to roof the two buildings and thus preserve their contents.

It has been determined that 110 squares of shingles at the cost of $100 each will be needed for the project.

DONATIONS WILL BE WELCOMED

1 square—$100. 1/2 a square—$50 1/4 a square-$25.

Donation may be sent to MCHS,
