Why we are Geneva GEMS...

"I choose to participate as a way to help honor and preserve the history of this community. A strong community believes and learns from it’s past in order to grow and foster it’s future. My donation may not be large but it is consistent which allows the Geneva History Museum to have some amount of financial stability." - Kelly Giffin Vass
