who had been very active in the formation of the Heritage Coalition, had again been involved in Museum work for the past year. She took on the most difficult projects and accomplished them with skill and tenacity. Anytime I am tempted to stray from the 'proper process', I hear her voice in my head and toe the line. She was a fascinating person and I am honored to have known her. She will be missed.
Lots going on this month, as always. Please mark your calendars for the Founders' Day Fair August 30th. This year there is a raffle. Tickets are available now at the Museum. Stop by to see a complete list of items.
Please share this newsletter with those who may be interested, and with those who may not even know we exist! Word of Mouth is our best publicity, so hit that forward button for us, and spread the word!
Sincerely - Rebecca Suddeth, Executive Director
