The “Friends” of the Museum is a new
organization established to promote the
services and mission of the Horry County
Museum as well as to provide a working
group of volunteers that will aid in
museum fund raising, programs and
special events. A typical “Friend” of
the Museum might be someone with
interest or experience in the museum
field; an interest in history, antiques,
natural history, archeology,
conservation, research or photography.
A “Friend” may be a retired educator
interested in working with the museum’s
educational outreach programs for
children or a home-school parent with a
greater need to work with museum
resources for a home-school network.
A “Friend” may be a retired business man
or woman that can help the museum with
their plans for a museum store, or
consult with museum staff on marketing
ideas.
Friend's News
A “Friend” may be someone who loves to
get involved with their community; to
meet new people and to plan social
events for museum events. A “Friend”
may be someone with that special gift to
give; a warm smile and a greeting to the
visitors to the Horry County Museum.
The "Friends" of the Horry County Museum
meet the second Thursday of each month
at the museum on 5th Ave. and Main
Street in downtown Conway at 4:30.
The "Friends" are currently working on
several projects and are always looking
for new memberships.
"Friends" plan and staff museum
exhibit receptions as well as serve as
greeters at South Carolina Welcome
Centers in Horry County. "Friends" will
also be needed to serve as receptionists
and greeters at our present and future
facilities. So fitting into the
"Friends" will never be a problem.
Make the committment today, become a
"Friend" of the Horry County Museum! For

museum.
