      <Desc>THE MUSEUM CONTINUES TO ACHIEVE AND GROW IN LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL AWARENESS. THE MUSEUM'S PUBLIC PROFILE GREW GREATLY. SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWERS ROSE OVER 75%, AND THE MUSEUM WAS PROMINENTLY FEATURED SEVERAL TIMES IN LOCAL AND REGIONAL MEDIA. THE MUSEUM CONTINUES TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES TO DISCOVER, UNDERSTAND, AND CELEBRATE THE AREA'S HERITAGE AND BOUNDLESS FUTURE. THE MUSEUM WELCOMED TWO PERMANENT EXHIBITS: THE ROTARY CLUB OF JOLIET MODULAR WALL, WHICH PROPERLY WELCOMES VISITORS TO THE MUSEUM, AND THE "STRIKE UP THE BAND" EXHIBIT WHICH SHOWCASES THE HISTORY OF THE JOLIET TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND PROGRAM. A TEMPORARY EXHIBIT, "THE EMERGENCE OF MODERN JOLIET", SAW A VERY CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH LEWIS UNIVERSITY AND WAS THE MUSEUM'S FIRST IN-HOUSE TRAVELING EXHIBIT. THE MUSEUM ALSO SET A RECORD OF FUNDS RAISED FROM ITS ANNUAL GIVING CAMPAIGN, AND SET A SINGLE DAY ATTENDANCE RECORD OF OVER 4,000 VISITORS ON ITS ANNUAL "STAR WARS DAY" COLLABORATION WITH THE JOLIET PUBLIC LIBRARY.</Desc>
