The vote was 217-39. THE EXHIBIT This year marks the city's 75th anniversary, and the City of College Station is seeking community support and donations for an exhibit to be displayed at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum in recognition of its 75-year history. Thanks to generous support from the Bush Library and Museum, about 3,000 square feet of space is available for the design and display of local memorabilia, photos, videos, and stories that highlight College Station’s 75 years as an incorporated city. The fundraising goal to develop this exhibit and its related activities is estimated at $50,000. The exhibit is expected to be open to the public from late October 2013 through early January 2014. Related activities include a special kick-off event to welcome the public to the exhibit. This event may include additional activities such as guest speakers, live music and entertainment, and a vintage car show. Once determined, these activities will be announced at a later date. THE LOCATION The mission of the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Texas A&M University is to preserve and make available the records and artifacts of George H.W. Bush, 41st President of the United States. The Bush Library and Museum promotes civic literacy, an increased historical understanding of our national experience, and fosters a community of public service and volunteerism. The Bush Library and Museum frequently hosts internationally-recognized exhibits and programs, bringing in visitors from all around the world. The Bush Library and Museum also supports other worthwhile events and organizations in Bryan-College Station such as the annual Food for Families food drive benefiting the Brazos Valley Food Bank, the Junior League Stuff-the-Bus campaign, and the local Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau.
