Become a Member of the Friends

The Friends of the Museum of Science & History  (MoSH) is a volunteer organization formed in 1968.  Our mission is to provide volunteers, financial support and enhancement of community awareness of MoSH. The Friends welcome both male and female members.

The Museum of Science & History (MoSH) consists of six facilities:

• The Museum
• Giant Screen Theater
• AutoZone Dome at the Sharpe Planetarium
• Lichterman Nature Center
• Mallory-Neely House
• Magevney House

The diversity of these facilities allows the Friends members to participate in a variety of activities.

Throughout the year the Friends prepare for several fund raising events, including Whiskey in the Wild and the Pink Palace Crafts Fair.  Our homemade donuts and the outstanding juried and demonstrating craftsmen make our award-winning Crafts Fair a popular and anticipated community event.

Meetings

The Friends meet at MoSH Central (Main Campus) on the 4th Tuesday of each month – August through May.  For the convenience of our professional members, there are two meetings a year held at night.  They are welcome at our day meetings as well.

How much time do I have to volunteer to become a Friend?

Not as much as you think.  We’re sure that we have several opportunities that will interest you. Everyone has an expertise in some area  – cooking, organizing or decorating for a party, preparing for a  plant sale, getting donations or sponsors, helping with mailings, docents, working special events,  volunteering in the museums, helping with an auction and much more.
