Membership
Upgrading or renewing your membership to Carnegie Museums at
the Reciprocal Level enables you to make a date with family members and
friends to visit any of the four museums, any time you like.� That�s what Rosemary and Art Fuller
realized when they received a call recently from Carnegie Museums inviting
them to become members.
����������� Rosemary
and Art had never been members of Carnegie Museums before.� In fact, living 50 miles away in New
Wilmington, Pa., they had never visited any of the museums before except for
one stop at the Science Center.� Now
that they�re both retired, they plan to make up for lost time.
����������� Art says,
�Rosemary and I can have several dates together at the museums this year that
are inspiring, informative, fun, and�best of all�pre-paid.� Plus, with our Reciprocal Membership, we
can bring our children and grandchildren with us.
����������� �When I
discussed the different membership options with the museums� telemarketing
representative, the Reciprocal Membership seemed like the best deal.� It was an easy decision to make.�
����������� Adds
Rosemary, �Seeing the museums is something we�ve always wanted to do, but we
just never had the time.� Being
members will get us to Pittsburgh more often.� Visiting the museums is doable for us.� We�ve always enjoyed going to school, and
this is a way for us to continue learning.�
����������� Rosemary
is a former teacher in the Wilmington Area School District and has a master�s
degree from Slippery Rock University in Counseling Services.� Art, who in his varied career was a
pastor, an instructor at Grove City College, a social worker, the executive
vice president of a private child welfare agency, and the CEO of an iron
foundry, holds master�s degrees from Eastern Baptist Seminary and University
of Pittsburgh.
����������� �We like
to do things that keep our minds sparked,� he says.
����������� They plan
to share that spark with their children and grandchildren.� Son Jeff and his wife Amy of Oil City have
two children, Jordan, 5, and Mackenzie, 2.�
Daughter Karen and her husband Bill of Beaufort, South Carolina, have
five children ranging in age from 9 to 15.
����������� Says
Rosemary, �We�re really looking forward to sharing the museums with them.�
Member Tip
Spring is the peak season for visits by school groups to
Carnegie Museums.� Because school
groups usually visit during the morning hours, you may wish to schedule your
visits for the afternoon hours, when the museums are less crowded.
