The act of tithing is a demonstration of two fundamental beliefs.   The first is:  I am always supplied beyond my real needs.   And the second is:  The more I contribute to my community, the richer my life becomes.

I was exposed to tithing at a very young age.   And our Dad taught us that even though "tithing" is usually considered as "giving money to a church", it really means:  CONTRIBUTING TO YOUR COMMUNITY.   He said, "And it's not always money.   It's also your time, bread, fruit, vegetables, a chair you made, clothing, whatever."

Another thing he said was that when seeking where and how to tithe, take a good look at the many non-profit organizations that serve your community.

And throughout a good portion of his life, Dad tithed to local libraries  —  and in his later years, museums.   And now, I do too.

      Thank you so much.

Parents tell us that the museum fits into their curriculum in several areas  —  including Pennsylvania history, and science and technology.   It has learning opportunities for children from the early grades through high school.   It has proven to be a productive outing that they say they were very pleased to discover.

We took this as a call on all of us, including museum members and friends, to do more to point home schooling families to the resources available here.   Word of mouth is particularly useful in reaching parents of this growing group.   They are parents with a very high desire to provide outstanding educational experiences for their kids.

You can help by telling your home schooling friends to check out our website  —  www.boyertownmuseum.org  —  and then visit.

The Museum's facilities include meeting and conference areas, dining and reception rooms  —  and, of course, the Museum's great collections for an after-the-event visit into transportation history.

Food ?   Yes!   Our top-notch professional caterer offers a wide variety of scrumptious menus for your eating pleasure.   Or, if you wish, they can build the cuisine to suit your personal taste and budget.

Don't forget the kids.   We specialize in parties for young people.   Games, crafts, ice cream and cake.   We'll make your Johnny  —  or Jane  —  the star of the party.

To make a reservation, or just for full information, contact our Operations Manager, Sandi Miller.   Sandi makes it easy to design your event in a location that is unique, comfortable, and fresh.

Call her at 610 473-7435.

And correct us when you notice we need it.   We learn a lot from our numerous visitors.
