Susie,
I feel that many people might want a little something more for their  
money.  Maybe ways to see that their money is helping the museum.  Do  
you have exhibit changes that would allow these Friends to seen in  
advance.  For example a preview night.  Or is there something that you  
can offer them like lectures or private tours of the museum. Just my 2  
cents.
