As we all know many Air Force/Military bases are in the process of closing.
 Many of these have museums associated with them that are in the process of
becoming independant of their government sponsors and support.  Being in a
community that faces base closure and desiring to maintain our museum I
would like to share information on what others are doing to preserve their
museums.  We already have a non-profit corporation (in place since the
museum inception 12 years ago) to raise funds and assume control of the
museum after base closure.  Please share your success and failure and I
will do the same.
