It goes without saying that the unprecedented COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic has had a wide-ranging effect on our way of life. It has upended how we live our lives, our relationships with families and friends, our routines, our businesses, our jobs, our recreation-it has effected everything.

 

Please read an update on the impact that the pandemic is having on many non-profits from Claremont Heritage Board President, John Neiuber HERE.   

 

We want to keep you informed, but also give you the ability to learn more about our history and cultural heritage.  Below are some fun things you can do from home that include:

Visit Claremont Through the Years... on Film.

A couple of years ago we had writer David Allen come speak about his latest book "On Track".  Before the talk we showed some clips from movies and TV shows that were shot in Claremont.  We are planning to eventually put together a full program that includes clips from many films that show Claremont, but thought that while everyone is staying at home and looking for things to do, why not publish the list we have and let people create their own film series from YouTube or other streaming services.

Claremont Heritage needs your support now  

more than ever!

As the COVID-19 pandemic increases in scope and severity, and to protect our citizens, we have decided to cancel our Annual Awards Gala in May. This event is one of our signature programs, and accounts for almost 1/3 of our annual fundraising. It allows us to raise the funds necessary to support our mission and carry out our work. Without this much needed revenue, we may be unable to continue some of the vital initiatives, such as our Third Grade Local History Program, the Mexican Players Documentary etc. You can help by engaging with us in new and different ways, or by making a donation today.  

 

Will you consider making a donation to offset the lack of revenues? Any amount will help, and is very much appreciated!
