the programs and activities of the St. Mary's County Museum Division.
The Friends raise funds through:
• Membership dues

Point Lighthouse Museum)
• Fundraisers (Potomac Jazz & Seafood Festival - Interactive
Murder Mystery Dinner
• Private organizational donor contributions
• Memorial gifts/bequests

membership levels and benefits and the link to access the membership
form you can fill out and mail to us. If you would like information
about how to make a donation or memorial contribution, call the St.
Clement's Island Museum during business hours at 301-769-2222. As a 501
(c) 3 organization, your donation and membership to The Friends is tax
deductible.
Your support through membership, a donation, or

with the educational, historical and preservation projects and programs
of the St. Mary's County Museum Division.

support our educational museums and historic sites and to preserve our
heritage for generations to come!
