I thought this was a private museum?

Ah yes… free tours for students…. opens the door to turn his Private Trophy Room into a Charitable Enterprise with non-taxable access to Your Tax $$$ ….
~~~Education Grants.
No question about it. They may all be blood-suckers…but they’re not stupid blood suckers.

Campaign contributions are a better (ROE) return on investment than stock market.

Research: Ask the right questions, you get (hopefully) the right answers:
The Truth Behind the Concord Location
The name “World Wildlife & Heritage Museum” (also referred to in county records as the Western Heritage-Wildlife Museum) sounds like a public institution or a chapter of a larger foundation, but it functions as a private estate display:

  • Private Ownership: The 90,000-square-foot facility on Evora Road was built entirely with the Seeno family’s private money to move animal trophies out of Albert Seeno Jr.’s Clayton mansion.
  • No Public Access: According to Contra Costa County records, the building is legally designated for personal storage and private events. It is not open to the general public.
  • The “Organization” ILLUSION: The family [ALSO] established a private grant-making foundation called the Willow View Association to manage the property-[and claim tax write-offs]. While they have sought occasional university research partnerships, it remains an independent, family-controlled entity.

If you’re interested in the possible illegal aspects of usurping the name WORLD WILDLIFE MUSEUM for private business [501 c-3} purposes…let me know… it could be a doozy!

Why would this tax write of of a museum need volunteers?
They should pay a professional staff.

for the exact reason you state, you have to pay a professional staff!

Haven’t I always heard how cheap a** Seeno is? I always heard how cheaply made his homes are made etc.
If this is true, then that would make sense why they are looking for volunteers, too cheap to pay!!! ha ha ha!

Did you know this entire venture was ‘supposedly’ done without a single vote by the CCCO Supervisors? First plans were for a big WAREHOUSE for storage of trophies from Seeno’s Kill-Farm?
A Warehouse in the warehouse district needs no special studies for safety, parking, insurance etc etc. So, Co “staff” from the Department of Conservation and Development signed off on WAREHOUSE. Then, while the Storage Warehouse was still in the “shell of a building” phase, Seeno asked for slight alterations: additions of viewing rooms, Banquet Hall style kitchens and Dining Rooms, meeting rooms, etc…. and the staff of that same Department of Conservation and Development said. OK, Mr. Seeno…whatever you need…just ask us!… still no CEQA, no special insurance requirement, no extra Parking requirement….
Then again, it is beautiful from the outside…. I’m wondering if you get a straight line-of-sight from Eagle Peak Dr to Evora Rd? hmmmm

Maybe that was Seeno’s way of trying to “weasel” his way into the Concord Naval property, which (I’m not sure of) might have “their” hands into already or some “famiilia” or affiliate does. Maybe ‘another” Pay Off to those in charge of planning etc??

Dont sign up, make them pay a real wage.
