DOVER—
Throughout the month of May, the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire is focusing on honoring military personnel past and present. By providing families opportunities to communicate their thanks to service men and women, and welcoming military families for a free weekend visit, the museum and partner organizations hope to convey support and gratitude to soldiers in all branches of the military.
During Memorial Day Weekend, the families of military service members will be able to enjoy free admission to the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire thanks to BAE Systems. Generous corporate sponsorship from BAE is allowing the Children’s Museum of NH to admit active-duty and retired military personnel and their immediate families at no charge from Saturday, May 28 through Monday, May 30, 2011.
“We are thrilled to be able to honor and thank the people serving our country during Memorial Day Weekend,” stated Jane Bard, Director of Education for the Children’s Museum of NH. “Whether it’s an enlisted person serving locally or the family of an officer deployed overseas, we look forward to welcoming all of these guests thanks to the generosity of BAE Systems.”
During Memorial Day weekend, military personnel and/or their immediate family members will be admitted free to the Children’s Museum of NH by showing a valid military ID at the museum’s front desk. Additional guests would be asked to pay the museum’s standard admission fee. The museum offers a year-round 10% admission discount for active-duty and retired military members.
“Military families endure many hardships as a result of their loved ones service to our country,” says Lu Goncalves-Getty, Community & Business Relations Manager at BAE Systems. “BAE Systems’ partnership with the NH Children’s Museum is not only a way to say thank you but also provide an opportunity for military families to spend cherished time together.”
Throughout the entire month of May, the Children’s Museum is partnering with the Operation Military Kids and Blue Star Families organization to thank those who serve our country. Museum visitors can write notes and letters of thanks to be sent to active duty military personnel, their spouses, families and children. Museum visitors an also create cards for veterans who have served this country. Operation Military Kids and Blue Star Families will collect the cards and letters from the museum and distribute them around the country and overseas.
