Dillons Reward Card

Every year Kroger takes a small percentage of their profits from every purchase and sets it aside for their Community Rewards Program. This is not money taken out of your pocket and does not take away from your own dillons points or discounts. Follow the instructions below for a simple way to support ECHS.

The Value of Cost

The ECHS buildings house a wide assortment of stories told in knowledge and artifacts. Stories about people who have walked these very same streets. Each photo, each documents, every objects and all the stories have a rightful place in our museum and in our hearts and minds as a treasure we give to those who will walk these streets after we have gone. Operating expenses are by far the most needed and often the most forgotten by generous donors. Simply running the electricity and temperature control for storage of the wonderful artifacts is a heavy bill in and of itself, not to mention staffing and caring for the museum and grounds.

Like you, ECHS works hard to keep our heritage alive and growing
