The Arkansas Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals will
perform its inaugural AFP in Action community service day at the Museum of
Discovery in Little Rock on Thursday, Sept. 6.
On that day, AFP members and colleagues will gather at the Museum of
Discovery to help clean the facility’s 85 interactive exhibits. The 50,000
square-foot museum has already seen more than 75,000 visitors since re-opening
in January.
“In just a short time, the brand new museum is already showing signs of
wear and tear,” said Chief Advancement Officer Meredith Poland. “If the museum
is not in pristine condition with all exhibits fully functional, we will not
meet the full potential of our mission. Many hands make light work and with the
assistance of AFP, the deep cleaning process will be completed more quickly and
effectively.”
Applications for the 2012 AFP in Action project were solicited from
non-profits across central Arkansas earlier this spring. “This project will give
AFP a chance to give back to the community and also allow our members to build
relationships with each other,” said the Arkansas AFP Vice President of
Leadership, Catherine Marhenke.
