Dear Friends and Colleagues, I come to you not only as the Director of Development for the Museum Association but also as your 2015 Lone Star Stomp Chair. I volunteered to be this year’s chair because the Lone Star Stomp is our most important and exciting event of the year!! The Stomp showcases our mission of preserving the history of Fort Bend County for future generations. The LONE STAR STOMP is our largest fundraiser of the year. With the funds raised at this event, our mission can expand and grow exponentially. It is our great honor to have Bill and Laura Hartman serve as our Honorary Chairs this year. We cannot thank them enough for their support. So along with the Hartmans, the staff, the board & the volunteers of the Fort Bend County Museum Association, I ask you for your support. It is only with your support that we can keep our future generations educated with our rich history! I look forward to personally greeting each of you on Saturday, April 18. Terri A. Norris Director of Development 2015 Lone Star Stomp Chair Fort Bend County Museum Association The mission of the Fort Bend County Museum Association (FBCMA) is to preserve the history of Fort Bend County and the surrounding area. The Association strives to inspire and educate the public for the purpose of strengthening awareness and appreciation of cultural heritage for future generations. The Fort Bend County Museum Association, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has preserved and interpreted Fort Bend County and Texas history since 1967. One of only 43 museums in Texas to be accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, the FBCMA operates a local history museum and six historic structures in Richmond, an avocational archeological society, and has an active docent society. In 2014, the Fort Bend County Museum presented educational programs to over 5100 school children from Fort Bend County and surrounding areas. Additionally, over 2500 Houston Metropolitan area students took part in the museum’s educational outreach program, the Texian Time Machine. Led by a 20-member volunteer Board of Trustees, the Association is also involved in partnerships and collaborations that extend its impact in archeology, preservation and heritage tourism to a broader region of Southeast Texas. The Texas Historical Commission has termed the Fort Bend County Museum “one of Texas’ best local history showcases”.
