Dear Friend of Maine Skiing,

The Ski Museum of Maine was established in 1995 to preserve and publicize the business of skiing in Maine, while celebrating Maine's ski history and heritage.

More than a decade has been spent collecting and preserving irreplaceable documents and artifacts, cataloguing those valuable materials, and preparing for the day when a home could be established where we could store, work on, and render available for public viewing and examination these rich elements of the fabric that is the history of skiing in Maine.

The dream of opening such a facility has been realized, and we now have a home in the heart of Maine's ski country where we can accommodate our growing collection and can invite the public to immerse themselves in the story of skiing's evolution in our state.

With this major step forward, the Board of Directors has assumed some substantial financial obligations to assure our continued growth with the retention of a Consulting Curator, Megan Roberts, and a leasehold commitment at Church Street Commons in Farmington.

We now are asking for your help to allow us to continue our important work. Please consider joining us as a Member by completing and returning the on line Membership Application at a level of your choice.

As a member, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you are doing your part to celebrate the history of skiing in Maine. In turn, we will provide you with a decal to display as well as periodic newsletters to keep you updated on the progress of your Museum.

Our future plans call not only for the growth of our collection and a revolving series of displays in Farmington, but exhibits to be located at ski areas around the state and other appropriate locations. Additionally, through an agreement with the Maine Historical Society, we will have a growing presence on the web as well. A sincere thank you for your consideration of this invitation to join us in our important work, and to visit the Museum when you are able.


Yours in skiing,

John M. Christie
President
Ski Museum of Maine
