Donuts With The Director | Member Exclusive Event

Friday, October 9th | 9:00–11:00 AM | Museum Education Room

Good mornings are great when there are donuts involved, and even better when you’re the first to hear what’s ahead for the Texas Maritime Museum!

Join us on Friday, October 9th from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM for Donuts With The Director, an exclusive members-only morning with coffee, donuts, and breakfast pastries, and plenty of time to connect with our Executive Director, Michael Ables.

Come enjoy a relaxed conversation, ask questions, and get an inside look at some of the updates and renovations we’re looking forward to in 2027. From what’s changing to what’s on the horizon, this is your opportunity to hear Museum news first, because being a member means being part of the crew.

What to expect:

• Coffee & breakfast treats
• Conversation with the Executive Director
• Members-only updates and news
• A first look at what’s ahead for the Museum in 2027

Members, please RSVP below by October 8 so we can make sure there are plenty of treats for everyone! Not a member? You can RSVP and join at the same time using the form below.

This is just one of the ways membership gives you exclusive access to the Museum and the people shaping its future.
