THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY ENHANCING AND INTERPRETING ITS HISTORIC AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE PROPERTIES AND BY UTILIZING STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY FOR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. false false 688717 By utilizing its historic and natural properties The WMHO provides people of all ages with diverse ways to engage in their surroundings. Three national and state register historic properties with ties to George Washingtons Culper Spy Rings are owned and interpreted by The WMHO. These properties include the Brewster House (c. 1655), The Thompson House (c. 1709), and The Stony Brook Grist Mill (c. 1751). The WMHOs educational and interpretive staff utilize these properties for school tours, lectures, and other educational programs throughout the year. The addition of distance learning equipment at the Brewster House and the Thompson House allows The WMHO to engage classes that cannot physically visit the site with the stories of the families that lived in these properties. Students from as far away as South Dakota have taken advantage of the distance learning technology that allows The WMHO to bring history to life. The WMHO environmental properties include an 88-acre wetland preserve and the Ernst Marine Conservation Center. Access to the 88-acre wetland preserve is led by naturalists on a 27-passenger pontoon boat. Naturalists point out the diverse species that call the wetlands home, pointing out animals of interest as the tour winds through the wetlands. The Ernst Marine Conservation Center houses two classrooms, touch tanks, and scientific equipment that encourage scientific discovery. As with the historic properties distance learning technology is a key component of the programs at the Ernst Marine Conservation Center. The Long Island Sound Connections program helps to bridge the Long Island Sound and connect students with peers on the opposite side. Students from both Long Island and Connecticut explore the Long Island Sound from their location and analyze differences and explore what causes these differences. This program allows students to engage with nature, while also learning how the behaviors of humans affect this important body of water. Beyond school programs, The WMHO engages visitors through a variety of community events bringing art, culture, music and dance to the community. Annually the programs of The WMHO are attended by over 10,000 people. 688717 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 13 0 true 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 13 false true false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false NY X GLORIA D ROCCHIO 6317512244 PO BOX 572 STONY BROOK NY 11790 X EDWARD J GUTLEBER ESQ Vice Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LAURA HUANG-ERNST Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANNA M KEREKES Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATHLEEN MICH Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES MURDOCCO Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES NAPOLI Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL ROWE Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DR RICHARD RUGEN Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARY VAN TUYL Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GRAHAM SCAIFE Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS RICHEY Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANDY SKITMORE Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES LOHMANN Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GLORIA D ROCCHIO President 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 59954 22142 138926 221022 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS 64231 64231 64231 470 470 0 0 13484 13484 13484 13484 0 51675 59954 23532 28143 0 4482 2276 2206 2206 GRIST MILL ADMISSIONS 1094 1094 Other Income 2226 2226 3320 332876 67551 16160 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 545785 280619 180605 84561 15276 5843 9433 8100 8100 0 0 0 0 5027 4916 18 93 5366 1045 4206 115 0 0 23709 23709 1009 980 29 0 0 0 0 115654 115654 50442 48556 1886 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 140759 137885 2774 100 EDUCATION 33509 33509 COMMUNITY RELATIONS 27132 25652 1448 32 CONTRACTUAL SERVICES 21390 5159 16198 33 10188 5190 4236 762 1003346 688717 228933 85696 400065 425409 0 0 3651 6860 0 0 40500 30000 18612 17577 18894 18564 5251931 2908912 2351687 2343019 0 0 0 0 106515 303727 2939924 3145156 10743 36472 10730 27825 351168 1332 372641 65629 X 2525275 3001532 42008 77995 2567283 3079527 2939924 3145156 X -670470 1182714 X false true X true false X 211635 275068 245126 191595 221022 1144446 138976 105471 22497 51682 64231 382857 0 0 0 350611 380539 267623 243277 285253 1527303 0 0 1527303 89554 78733 78511 71492 470 318760 0 89554 78733 78511 71492 470 318760 0 43118 32544 14379 143914 47153 281108 483283 491816 360513 458683 332876 2127171 0.71800 0.66810 0.14990 0.20270 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 711308 711308 3823696 2384202 1439494 384917 211778 173139 228674 212025 16649 103336 100907 2429 2343019 Accrued Interest Income 9699 Inter-Affiliate Receivable 293378 Undeposited Funds 650 303727 Security Deposit 1332 1332 X 459400 124248 2276 126524 332876 332876 1129870 124248 2276 126524 1003346 1003346 Part X : FIN48 Footnote THE ORGANIZATION HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE NO MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
