Saving the Beebe Ranch

Recently I received a message from John Giusti, one of the board members of The Misty of Chincoteague Foundation. He'd been sent the press release below and passed it on to those of us on the board alerting us to the fact that a developer wanted to buy the Beebe ranch and develop it into housing units. 

John asked that our board meet and consider helping The Museum of Chincoteague Island (which is not connected to The Misty of Chincoteague Foundation) save and preserve the Beebes' former home and the place where Misty lived.

We have that meeting scheduled and will be discussing doing what we can to help. $625,000 is needed to do so. 

If you'd like to help, here is a news brief from Liz Cory, president of The Misty of Chincoteague Foundation:

How many of you remember the Misty of Chincoteague books? Marguerite Henry wrote a wonderful collection of children's stories, and today, the site of her most famous book is under threat of being redeveloped and turned into housing units. A Chincoteague museum is trying to save the Beebe Ranch, and they need our help. If you can, please help preserve Misty's legacy by making a gift to the local museum so they can save the property. The press release is here: https://mailchi.mp/c1663e03070d/press-release-museum-of-chincoteague-island-sets-goal-to-save-the-beebe-ranch?e=856d73180d

Thank you!

If you are able to help, thank you. Can't help financially at this time but still interested in preserving the Beebe ranch? Spread the word!
