The Smart Car Raffle is the first of many initiatives that the Board of Directors will use to meet the challenge grant offered by the Paul Ogle Foundation. The Board is embarking on a Capital Campaign—Phase I with a goal of $1,000,000.00 to be raised by December 31, 2009.
Now the Smart Car is an underachiever in my humble opinion, at only 41mpg, but you could easily hypermile your way past 50 mpg and beyond. I applaud the museum for being forward thinking and environmentally aware!

Start where you are...
Use what you have...
Become the change that you want to see in the world.

Enough for Everyone's Need, Not for Everyone's Greed...

Live simply so that others may simply live.

Become the Media

Don't listen to the one-sided corporate-owned media. They are not in the business of finding the truth. They are only concerned about making money for themselves and their stock holders. If they do report the truth, it is only because it suits their business plan. A happy accident...
Become the media! Blog it, film it, record it...
You still have credibility... They don't.
