A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR THE COATS COMMUNITY MUSEUM.
Whereas, the Town of Coats, Harnett County, North Carolina, is proud of its heritage and its many accomplishments; and
Whereas, the Coats' school has long been a source of pride, contributing to the educational, cultural, athletic, and emotional spirit of the community; and
Whereas, symbols of a bygone era can be instructive for students of the 21st century and, to that end, the citizens of Coats established the Coats Community Museum in 1990 by acquiring an original wooden school building retired from use in the early 1920s to remind citizens of the past, to educate students about the classrooms that once served area citizens, and to provide museum space for historical and community artifacts; and
Whereas, the citizens of Coats, particularly the senior citizens, have dedicated several hours to fund-raising and volunteer labor for the museum and plan to continue fund-raising and volunteer labor activities in the future for maintenance of the museum; and
Whereas, the Coats Community Museum is incomplete and is in need of additional funding;  Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Town of Coats the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for the 1994-95 fiscal year for the restoration of an original  wooden school building, retired from use in the early 1920s, to house the Coats Community Museum.
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1994.
