The Phoenix Trolley Museum is looking for new members to join our Board of Directors!

We have had a great year, which so far has included being named the “Best Museum You Probably Haven’t Visited” by the Phoenix New Times and receiving the Institutional Award of Excellence from the Museum Association of Arizona. We sure have come a long way since moving to Grand Avenue.

But we're not even close to being done yet! We have a number of urgent priority projects planned, which include protecting Car 116 from the rain and sun; getting air conditioning in the museum building; removing accessibility barriers; and developing our yard with interpretive exhibits and other enhancements.

But to accomplish these goals, we need people who are willing to help lead. Several long-serving Board members who have provided years of leadership and service are preparing to step back, creating an important opportunity for new volunteers to become part of the museum’s future. We are seeking five to seven additional Board members who want to help guide the organization during this exciting period of growth.

Could you be one of those people?

Lanny is very happy that PTM received an "Institutional Award of Excellence" at the annual conference of the Museum Association of Arizona on April 27! We're not sure why, but are honored nonetheless. It will look great next to our New Times award for "Best Museum You Likely Haven't Visited".
If you have not checked out how Car 116 is doing in its new home, next Saturday May 30 is your last chance before we break for the season. Come by between 11 and 3!

We got a surprise in the mail today - a nice card with a gift inside - a Phoenix Transit System student fare token!
We think this is probably a bus token from the 1950s, but if anyone might know better, let us know in the comments!
A big thank-you to the anonymous "K. A." For the donation.
