 September 2007 Newsletter Highlights

Thanks to all of our membership who attended the General Meeting. I appreciate everyone who took the time and effort to attend.

Bill Cambron presented the fiscal year report. An updated list of board members and a copy of the fiscal report are included in this newsletter. Please feel free to contact any of the board members if you have comments or questions.

Everyone who attended received a miniature castle or house. We honored the museum volunteers and presented them with a special free admission to the October show and a $5 gift certificate to be used at the show or in the museum gift shop. Since admission to the show is included with the dinner/auction, those volunteers who attend aren't able to use the free admission ticket, therefore, they will receive another special gift to be awarded at the dinner. Volunteers not at the meeting were mailed their gifts.

Yes, here I am, once again asking if there are any people who can help us staff the museum. Many of our volunteers aren't able to help during the fall and winter months, but our staffing needs don't diminish. If you could help us out at all, please call me (314) 822-7322 and we can work out a schedule. Even one day a month would be extremely helpful.

The new roof has finally been installed. Thank goodness! We had to close for a few days because of the hot weather, but now that is all behind us and we are ready to move on to the next stage. O.T. & Joe have been working in the garage covering the insulation in the ceiling. That was indeed a HOT job and we appreciate all your hard work. Joe will be having hand surgery in early September, so the renovations will have to wait till his hand is healed. Good luck, Joe!

The new exhibit, "School Days, School Days" is now open. This display features different schools: Old-Time School Rooms, a Ballerina School, a Bear School Room, and much more. Be sure to visit the exhibit this fall to see the special exhibit and the fall scenes and holidays exhibits.
