Education & Love for the Community
The Burnett-Eaton Museum Foundation thanks you for your volunteer effort in helping to deliver breakfast to the shut-in and welcomed those who join in the commemoration and day long activities, education and walking tour. The winter wraps were appreciated by those who received them, and on time for Wilmington’s winter snow and wind chill.
