We accomplished lots yesterday. Joe will be down at the building at 9:00 if you’d like to help or stop by and just see the plans. Had a few community people stop by to see what was happening. Everyone very excited. Hope you can help even if you just wipe up our drips it helps. We will not paint this evening. We think things will need to dry. I’ll send out message about Wed activities.

We had a great meeting Monday. A nice crowd for a great program. We have talented people in Ellinwood and Robin Gray is one of them. She has done a wonderful job with Kent and Joan Roth’s 1910 German Feather tree. She made a small feather tree and gave it to the historical society. It will be great at Christmas.
We discussed the museum. Got many great ideas and questions from you all. Many minds make for a great outcome. We will have a after hour chamber coffee on May 19th at 5:30 pm at the New Museum 104 N. Main. We want to show the community the building before were finished with it to enlist their input and help (financially and physically).
Heather Dumbraski is in charge of the committee to get this together. Please give her your help if she needs it. We will have a work session at the museum at 104 N Main for our May 2, 2017 meeting. Hope you can be there Joyce

Joe’s on a roll guys so hang on!! He will be down at the building Thurs. April 6 at 9 am to start the process by wiping down walls and mop boards and then vaccuming the floor and maybe moping. If anyone wants to help call, email or just show up. Bring a mop, extra bucket, and a long handled ceiling or wall duster if you have. I have a couple and he will bring those. I will get some kind of cleaner for floor.
He would like to start painting Monday about 9. we would like to do an evening session also but the lighting isn’t updated yet so kind of dark but if any one has spot lights that plugin we could do an evening session starting about 5:30. Let ne know about spots and I will let everybody know if there is a evening session.
If you have paint pans, brushes, or rollers bring them. We”ll get rags. If you have an extra ladder bring that too.
I am excited and can’t wait to see the progress!!!! Hope you are too. Joyce

I want to say a BIG “Thank You” to each and everyone of you who Baked cookies, helped set up, worked the sale or tear down and clean up and to those who donated time and money connected to the cookie by the pound sale and put up with me!!! The sale went so well and was such a joy to work with so many of our new younger members. It does my soul good to see all the enthusiasm you all had during the process. We don’t have final totals in but from the crowd and the lack of leftovers I think we did as good or better than last year.
We’ll have prelims ready by Tuesday’s Dec. 6 meeting. Meeting is at the hospital at 7pm. We will discuss our after x-mas, x-mas part to be held in Jan. Hope you can come!!!
Left over cookies were given to Hospital aux for their sale which raises money for medical schlrships in addition to other projects. We also sent a platter of cookies to Woodhaven, County living Place and hospital skilled care for their residents. The sugar cookies went to St. Josephs’ school for their x-mas music program this Wed. There weren’t many leftover It only took a little over an hour to package and deliver.
Again “THANKS!
