Seventeen years ago the F-M Jr. League, the Fargo Park District, and many concerned citizens pooled

their time and energy with donations of all sorts to make a dream come true. Along with many volunteers, The Children’s Museum became a reality in the big, red brick house at the Yunker Farm site in north Fargo.

After all these years, The Children’s Museum at Yunker Farm has been recognized as one of the top children’s museums in our nation. Your generous support for this community asset helped make that distinction possible.

I am honored to serve as the Honorary Chairperson for the museum’s 2006-07 $’s for Discovery Fund Drive. The museum is a very special place for children to interact with their parents and grandparents in a warm and wonderful old farm house. Investing in our children is always a solid choice. Your continued support of The Children’s Museum at Yunker Farm is a sound investment in both our community and our children.

As we kick-off the $’s for Discovery campaign, we encourage you to support the museum’s activities and programming with your generous contribution. $’s for Discovery keep admission rates affordable for everyone in our area. Your participation is vital to assure that the train keeps running, the alphabet garden keeps growing, the “move-it” gears keep whirling, and the bees keep buzzing.

When your $’s for Discovery volunteer calls, please join me in supporting another year of “Hands-On Discovery” at The Children’s Museum at Yunker Farm.
