Andy,
You are correct about the funds we have. We are not sitting on the money, we are working on replenishing as we spend. The El Cortez exhibit cost us about $8,000. The Plaza may be larger, not exactly sure yet. We are looking to move to larger venues, money is not our problem. The problem is a limited work force. It takes people to put on exhibits. We need to insure that the loaned items are carefully catalogued. I am working on training new people so we can expand. We have the El Cortez that will be turned into a permanent display. We have to swop the items out. We have a smaller exhibit going into the lobby of the Neon Museum plus the Plaza due to open Super Bowl weekend. We have items on loan to the Mob Museum. With a new board and a slowly growing staff, we are moving at a good pace. You have seen numerous posts by me asking for help. The response is not overwhelming.
If I can increase my staff, we can do more.
I have my eyes on the Flamingo, if someone reading this can put me in contact with the right people, I will make it happen.
