Finding a Home for Your Treasures

Finding a Home for Your Treasures will be presented from 6-7:30 pm Thursday, August 8, at the Global Village Museum of Arts and Cultures. When individuals downsize their home or – sadly – pass away, their cherished possessions should continue to be appreciated and create meaning. Too often, however, these special items are sold or auctioned without proper care and consideration. To help solve this dilemma, Jeff Boulter will address the safekeeping of meaningful belongings, antiques, and heirlooms. “Many people have treasured collectibles and valuable art they have accumulated in a lifetime of adventure and travel,” Boulter said. “Yet family and friends may have little interest in these items. So what can you do?” Boulter will offer tips and provide a packet of information about estate planning. He will also explain how donating valuable art and keepsakes to the Global Village Museum can be a perfect solution. Admission to the program is $5 per person, and registration is requested at globalvillagemuseum.org. The Global Village Museum is located at 200 West Mountain Avenue, and Museum hours are 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, visit globalvillagemuseum.org or call 970-221-4600.
