“Original tax return reported fixed assets net of accumulated depreciation in the amount of 2,888. The fixed assets were purchased for the use of the museums and are not the property of the foundation. Amended tax return reclassified fixed assets of 3,130 as expenses, and zero out the depreciation expense of 242; the net change of 2,888 decreased the excess for the year from 3,830 to 942.”

“The foundation sponsored three major fund raising activities in 2015: shake your caboose event, native american rug auction and rat on the stick booth at the renaissance faire. These events were very special in raising funds for the benefit of the foundation and each of the museums. The foundation also sponsored the senior high school art show and purchased three art works from the ground up show for the museum permanent collection. The foundation was one of the sponsors for a appreciation event for museum volunteers, and sponsored a informal holiday luncheon for museum staff and volunteers.”
