Have you been wanting to visit one of our many Museums, but just haven’t gotten around to it? Are you looking for something special to do with children on Monday while they are off from school and many of you are off from work? I have put together my annual information guide to some of the places you may wish to visit. Most of these places are either free for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day or they “charge” a canned good per person as a donation to benefit Gleanners Food Bank. This is a terrific opportunity to visit many of the attractions in our City for basically no cost and also help stock the shelves for Gleanners.
Maybe you cannot go on Monday or you would like to know more about regular hours and admission prices for the future. I have also updated the information along with phone numbers and attached it to this email. I hope that this information is helpful for when you are looking to do something special with children, out of town company, or when you are looking for someplace to spend an afternoon. We are very fortunate to have some of the best museums and attractions in our City. I hope that you will be able to take advantage of some of the many things we have to offer.
Again, I hope this information below as well as the attachment is helpful and you will be able to visit at least one soon. There are also many other sights around the area that I have not listed. Take time and look into some of them as well.
Sincerely,
Janice McHenry
City-County Councillor District 6
