Education Fund
One of the missions of Bonniebrook Historical Society is to
educate the world about Rose O'Neill and her art. We've established
a fund to make books and curriculum materials available to schools
and educators upon request. If you would like to donate a gift to
provide materials, please
make your check out to Bonniebrook Historical Society Education Fund
or you may use Paypal below.
The Perfect Gift
What makes a perfect gift? It’s something that doesn’t cost a lot.
It’s fun. It fits every holiday and special occasion. It is one size
fits all. It doesn’t need batteries. It is easy to shop for, and
wrapping is free. What is it? It’s a membership in Bonniebrook
Historical Society.
For just $25.00 you can give a BHS membership to someone who already
loves Kewpies. They’ll enjoy four newsletters a year, and free
admission to the museum and O'Neill home.
You can also use this gift to introduce people to Rose O’Neill and
her art, including the legendary Kewpies. You can surprise a
teacher, an artist, or someone who loves cartoons or gothic novels.
The Bonniebrook News makes a wonderful gift to a local library. You
can give it to a senior center or a nursing home, or your family
doctor to keep in the waiting room.
Your gift of a BHS membership will, of course, help maintain
Bonniebrook now and in the years to come. It is also tax deductible
to the full extent of the law.
To order the perfect gift for yourself or someone you love, please print the order form below (click
image to view and print full-size version) and
fill out the information for yourself and each new member (attach as
many pages as you like!) Then mail the list to Bonniebrook with your
check or money order, or email the list to us with your Visa or
MasterCard information. Each new member will
receive a letter notifying them of your gift and information about Bonniebrook, a membership card, and a copy of the Bonniebrook News.
We now accept Paypal for new memberships and
renewals!
