Hi folks! We've been away from Facebook for awhile, but we've been
staying busy here. Now that things are starting to get back to normal from
the disruption of Covid19, we're doing tours again, and we're getting our
volunteer work days rolling again, restoring more and more vintage systems
for you to enjoy.
However, we're in a bit of a pickle, and we need your help. Our main
floor air conditioning system has died, and is beyond repair. It's a
40-year-old power hungry system anyway, so it really just needs to be
replaced. We have a quote in-hand from a local, reputable A/C contractor
for a brand new, ultra-efficient system, and we're trying to raise funds
for it, about $8500. We're already about halfway there from recent private
donations. If we're unable to get the rest of the way there, we'll have no
choice but to close for the summer.
As an all-volunteer, donation-funded nonprofit educational organization,
we depend on your support to keep doing what we do. Please help us if you
can. We accept donations via PayPal to donations at mact.io, or via
check/money order made out to Museum of Applied Computer Technology, mailed
to the museum at 924 4th Avenue, New Kensington, PA 15068.
Any overage will be put toward our utility bills and other operating
expenses. LSSM/MACT is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Thank you,
