MENOMINEE RANGE HISTORICAL FOUNDATION FRIENDS OF THE MUSEUM In 1990 the Friends of the Museum was established as an auxiliary group with the purpose of providing financial support for the Menominee Range Historical Foundation for projects of their choice. Over the decades the Friends of the Museum's funds have allowed for the completion of a number of Foundation projects.  When the Menominee Range Historical Museum was first established the Friends of the Museum provided assistance.  After the Chapin Mine Ludington C Shaft Dry House was acquired, the Friends of the Museum provided funds for a kitchenette and the construction of an outside entry with overhanging roof. Beginning in 2005 and continuing to date, the Friends of the Museum, under the leadership of President Jan Reynolds, have raised and contributed $111,500 for the restoration of the CG-4A Waco Glider and the metal building to house it. Fundraisers have included Strawberry Socials, Style Shows and a Wine and Cheese Party. The Friends of the Museum also sponsored children's events, including "Lunch with the Easter Bunny", "Pumpkin Patch" and "Family Day at City Park." Other successful events over the past ten years were the U.S.O. Shows and the annual Antique, Craft and Gift Shows, Raffles, Style Shows/Dinners and Rummage Sales. Current officers of the Friends of the Museum are: • Janet Reynolds, President • Greta Betti, Vice-President • Julie Eutizzi, Treasurer The following currently serve on the Board of Directors of the Friends of the Museum:  Julie Badini, Gloria Bramer, Dee Ebertsch, Kathie Fayas, Bonnie Hyde, Barb Lefebvre, Shirley Mande, Sarah Micheau, Darleen Orler, Jackie Rosen and Kay Villa.
