Annual Spring Fundraiser

Each year we come together for an evening of fun, food and entertainment. The Annual Spring Fundraiser usually takes place the last Saturday in March, and is held at varioius locations in the area.

The doors open, the bar opens and the silent auction begins. We have dinner, thank your sponsors and the entertainment is under way. Later in the evening there is a live auction and the silent auction continues. The silent auction ends shortly after the live auction ends. After the festivities it's time to collection auction items, socialize and shop in the gift shop.

The Annual Spring Fundraiser is hosted by the Friends of the Museum.

Annual Updating of the Wall

The Vietnam Memorial Garden on the museum grounds contains a 300-foot long replica of the Moving Wall™, a 1/2 scale version of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C. The wall is updated at least once a year to keep the names up-to-date with those on the Vietnam Memorial in D.C.
