  • The Museum of the Cape Fear Turns 30 Thursday, June 21, 6:00 to 8:00 P.M
    Media Contacts: Marcie Gordon, Director, Community Engagement and Marketing 919-807-7995, [email protected] Leisa Greathouse, Curator of Education at Museum of the Cape Fear 910-500-4243, [email protected] The Museum of the Cape Fear Turns 30 Thursday, June 21, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Did you know the North Carolina Museum of History has six sister museums spanning the state of North Carolina? Our regional museums are the Museum of the Cape Fear Historical Complex in Fayetteville, Museum of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City, Mountain Gateway Museum in Old Fort, and three North Carolina Maritime Museums in Hatteras, Beaufort and Southport. These excellent museums pride themselves on continuing to tell the remarkable North Carolina stories that make this state so unique. FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – The Museum of the Cape Fear is celebrating its 30th birthday with a party and the public is invited. On June 21, the first day of summer, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, the museum is throwing a party, complete with balloons, games and activities, and birthday cake, (while supplies last). In June of 1988, the Museum of the Cape Fear officially opened its doors as one of the state’s regional museums—a branch of the North Carolina Museum of History for the southeastern part of the state. It was the third and final branch to open, which achieved a two-fold purpose: 1.) to decentralize the vast collection of artifacts held by the state, most of it in Raleigh; and, 2.) to put almost every North Carolinian within 100 miles of a state-owned history museum.

Introduction II. Executive Summary III. Project Scope IV. Overview: Strategic Positioning V. Governance Partners and Their Roles VI. Key Findings: Financial Data VII. Key Options & Priorities VIII. Recommendations i. Five‐Year Operating Projections IX. Privatization: A Future Option X. Next Steps Roanoke Island Festival Park Strategic Plan for Financial Sustainability: March 2013 – Final Report Page 3 I. Introduction Schultz & Williams (S&W) was engaged by The Roanoke Island Commission (RIC) to create a comprehensive five‐year report to strengthen the financial viability and sustainability of the Roanoke Island Festival Park (RIFP), including the assets and properties administrated by DCR that are located on Roanoke Island. The five‐year plan will identify operating revenue and expenditure projections that support the planned reductions in State appropriations, identify new sources of non‐State revenues and outline the feasibility of shifting the governance of RIFP to a public/private partnership model (privatization). The current expectation of the State is that RIFP will be self‐supporting in fiscal year 2016, commencing July 1, 2015. The final report and consultant recommendations will be submitted to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees in March 2013. Schultz & Williams is a Philadelphia‐based planning and consulting firm that is dedicated to working with cultural institutions and attractions throughout the country to strengthen their viability and sustainability. S&W has recently completed organizational and financial plans for the North Carolina Zoo and the North Carolina Aquariums that will further leverage their partnership with the State while raising the profile of the State’s cultural resources.
