He enthusiastically assisted us with our first Auction and Concert event on May 22, 2004, and other events in 2004. His support brought us the support of RealtyUSA as the Major Sponsor for our Historic Treasures Tour 2005. |

| Winners of the evenings' 50/50 raffle, Marilyn Soemann, and theme basket raffle, Joyce Santiago. Marilyn displays her winning ticket. Marilyn donated her winnings back to the Museum. Marilyn and her wonderful husband George made one of the first pledges to the interest group, which helped to make our eventual Museum possible. As members of the Downtown Merchants Association of North Tonawanda, they also participated in one of the first donations to the Museum's "The Future of Our Past" Capital Fund for our future permanent home. Joyce is a member of the Board of Trustees in 2005 and is making wonderful contributions to our efforts. The wife of Charter Honorary Life Member Lou Santiago, making the North Tonawanda History Museum a reality is a family affair. Joyce is on the staff of the Chamber of Commerce of the Tonawandas. Judy Mittiga created the theme basket. |
