NCC8 an Official Non-Profit


Lycoming College for Kids at the Glunk Site.
Pat us on the back. Northcentral Chapter 8, Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology is officially a non-profit.
Let the donations roll in.
Seriously, reach into your pockets and pull out cash and checks (or a credit card -- we have a PayPal donation button on the site) and contribute to the most active archaeology chapter in the region.
Northcentral Chapter 8 has existed since the late 1950s, but we haven't been an official non-profit until now. With our 501 (C) status, we can apply for grants, accept donations and provide legal receipts for your generous support.
There are a lot of hidden costs that we incur as we strive to conserve and preserve the region's archaeological heritage, including an expensive insurance liability policy, without which we could not host our public archaeology dig.
We partner with Lycoming College and Lycoming College for Kids & Teens, as well as Muncy Historical Society and Lycoming County Historical Society, and that provides us with some equipment, but we need more.
Last year, hundreds of visitors came to the ongoing archaeology dig at the Glunk Site, as well as dozens of college students, each with an interest in local prehistory. NCC8 also gives presentations and hosts group tours and Scouts at the site.
Although labor is free (thank you, Volunteers!), the supplies for these activities wear out. We're in dire need of equipment and funds to excavate, interpret and preserve the artifacts that add to our cultural heritage.
Won't you help us today?
Become a member, even if you don't plan to dig. Your membership fee helps us teach others how to dig.
Give generously. Send a check, drop by and put cash in our hands, or use the PayPal donation button at right to support us.
We thank you for your generosity.
