Honorary Charter Life Members

This wonderful group of individuals has participated, each in his or her own unique manner, in the creation and development of the North Tonawanda History Museum in its first year of existence.  As we have designated all members in our first year as Charter members, those who became members through April 30, 2005, the following have also been designated as Charter Honorary Life Members for having made significant donations of time, effort, services, monetary and/or in-kind donations -- and in many instances, a combination of all, in our crucial first year of existence.  They will forever be recognized for this support as Charter Honorary Life Members.
