WELCOME TO OUR FIRST NEWSLETTER!
With the coming of the holiday season, we wish you a Howling Halloween, a Thanks-filled Thanksgiving, and a Joyous Christmas.
Our year to date has been a busy one. We have several volunteers who are working a few hours every week to get things
organized. We can then set up displays and share items appropriate to the Museum and Society.
JUNE FUNDRAISER
The June fundraiser was a financial success for the Society and a happy surprise for the winner, Mr. Bill Cox.
ARTIST NORMA HOWARD
The Norma Howard display brought many visitors to the museum and gave volunteers an opportunity to explain the purpose
and goals of the Historical Society.

DONATIONS
We received three very appreciated donations in September. An anonymous donor gave a nice cash donation. Ray and Kathy
Fioretti gave a glass showcase which will allow us to display more of the many items we have had stored for lack of display
space. Mr. Monte Bankhead donated a Du-Fold sofa which has been in his family at least 80 years. It is upholstered, with
beautiful wooden arms and claw feet. Many thanks to these individuals for their generous donations!
HALLOWEEN FUNDRAISER
The society is selling tickets for a chance to take home the Halloween cake baked and graciously donated by Aline and
Charley Montgomery. A big thanks to them both!
