The Western Development Museum recently received funding from the BATC Community Development Corporation for new tables and chairs in the amount of $38,868.95.
In the summer of 2014, the WDM realized the time to replace the tables and chairs had come. A five-year fundraising plan was being developed in order to raise the necessary funds. Thanks to the BATC CDC the WDM was able to purchase all the tables and chairs required, eliminating the five-year plan.
The current tables and chairs have been in use for more than 15 years and have been maintained by the staff of the WDM as best as possible. The wood tables were originally made by staff and volunteers.
The new tables are made from a lightweight, durable plastic and the new chairs have a wider back and thicker padding making them very comfortable, especially for those who are sitting in meetings all day.
The Western Development Museum has four meeting and banquet rooms that are available for rent and the staff is looking forward to providing their customers with a much better “sitting” experience.
