The Walter Ames Society: A Vehicle for Stewardship

Stewardship can take on many forms, and planned gifts enable individuals to create a legacy of stewardship for an institution. We invite you to join the Walter Ames Society and play a role in recognizing of the Timken's important role in the San Diego community and the significance of its collection.

These supporters become members of the Walter Ames Society, which will provide stewardship for the museum in the years to come.

For more information about the museum's planned giving program, please contact Laurie Hawkins, the Timken's Development Director at (619) 239-5548 extension 107.
