History
The AVRM was formed September 8, 2009 as a 501(c)(3) public charity, with the purpose of preserving the rural history of the Antelope Valley. On June 10, 2010 the Board of Directors voted to amend the bylaws to give at least 10% of all cash donations to scholarship funds. At the 2010 AV Fair kickoff dinner the AVRM became the first donors to the AV Fair Volunteers Scholarship Fund. The $525 we donated was awarded at the Jr. Livestock Auction.
