Save the date for That Seventies Event at the Science Museum 2009!
 
(Roanoke, VA)—The Science Museum of Western Virginia announces the date for That Seventies Event at the Science Museum: Saturday, April 25, 2009, sponsored by Martin Bros. Contractors.
 
This past spring, the Museum inaugurated this special fund-raising event to celebrate its founding in 1970. The event was a huge success, with live music, great food, and party-goers in their grooviest 70s-style attire!
 
Expect another great party in 2009, with 70s dance hits by Monkey Fuzz, and dinner by Carrabba’s Italian Grill. Sponsorship opportunities are now available. Please call 540/342-5718 for more details about how your firm can be the hit of the party!

The Science Museum of Western Virginia was one of the very first science centers to open in the United States and is now among the fewer than five percent of museums across the country that are nationally accredited by the American Association of Museums.
 
During its 38-year history, the Science Museum has served millions of visitors, strengthening education and economic development throughout the region. Through hands-on exhibits, programs, and wide-screen films, the Museum nurtures lifelong learning and a greater understanding of science and technology among visitors of all ages.
 
In November 2006, the Science Museum announced a major Reinvention plan which will completely transform the Museum’s exhibits and programs over the next five years. The Science Museum is actively seeking funding toward its Reinvention goal, including its goal to match the Carilion Foundation’s challenge grant by January 19, 2009.
