In February,
the Active 20/30 Club of Santa Rosa granted the CMNB $3000.  This money has been designated to the MOG so that it can visit underserved schools in the Santa Rosa community.


We would especially like to thank Robert Rameriz for his support as well as the entire 20/30 Club for their generocity and support of young children.



 
Thank You Santa Rosa West Rotary!!!

The Children's Museum of the North Bay's Board of Trustees would like to express our sincerest gratitude and appreciation to the Santa Rosa West Rotary Club for including us in their South Seas Adventure Crab Feed and Auction on January 31, 2009.  We were honored to be a part of this long-held tradition that illustrates their strong commitment to serving our community.

The money we raised through this wonderful event will move us closer to our goal of opening a children's museum in Santa Rosa within the next few years.
