Seaford Historical Society seeks donations

I am writing on behalf of the Seaford Historical Society. Our mission is to preserve and publicize the rich heritage of Seaford’s history.

Settled in 1643, Seaford is a unique locale with a storied past that should be an integral part of its future. We are one of a few organizations on the South Shore that have been able to retain an historic building as a museum.  Our building dates back to 1893 and has served Seaford as firehouse, schoolhouse  and community center.

In order to maintain, update and upgrade the museum, the Historical Society is sponsoring its latest fundraising effort – the Annual Harvest Fair to be held on Sunday, September 26, on the front lawn of Seaford High School. The fair will include the sale of pumpkins, mums, baked goods and crafts.

Other features will be entertainment, children’s games, pumpkin decorating, face painting, raffles and demonstrations by the Seaford Fire Department. Donations are being requested in the form of goods/services and monetary contributions to be used as raffle prizes or gift baskets.

Of course we would like you to include your business card for display purposes, publicizing your community spirit. The Historical Society greatly appreciates the financial support of our neighbors and partners in the important initiative. We are also offering tent sponsorships with appropriate professional signage which we will provide to acknowledge your involvement. The tent sponsorships are available for $50.

The Seaford Historical Society is a 501C3 organization and all donations are tax deductible. A receipt will be provided upon request. Any and all donations can be sent to me at 3799 Brooklyn Avenue, Seaford 11783.We would also be happy to pick up your donation at your convenience. Please call 783-8629 with any questions or to arrange for this pick-up service. On behalf of the Seaford Historical Society, thank you.
