Dear Friends

 

Here it is time for our quarterly meeting.  Summer is flying by and it is time to finalize our plans for Edinburgh Day.

We will meet July 8^th at 6:00 PM.  The meeting will be held in the main museum with Area 2 in charge of the refreshments.

This will be an important meeting to finalize events for the day, so please try to attend.  We will need everyone.

The Jones County Amateur Radio Club enjoyed our grounds for the weekend and plans to come back again next year.

Our Ice Cream Social was OK but was not well attended, so maybe we need to rethink this event.  A big thanks to all who cleaned before the day, all who helped that day and to all the ladies for baking delicious cakes and bars.  These donations helped our profit.

The Grant Committee is still working but is finding it hard to get any grants for the items that need to be done.  They are working on several for a variety of projects.  Thanks to this committee for all their effort.  They will be needing ideas and help on the completion of the grants.

The picture display on the wall, Apron display, display case of manufactured items from Jones County and 2 maps dated 1867 and 1905 purchased with grant money are up on the wall.  All of these are interesting and we hope you will try to see them over the summer.  The pictures of the towns will need to be updated as new pictures arrive.  We are also interested in other pictures that can be copied to display or put in books for reference.  If you have something that is interesting let us know.

Remember July 8^th 6:00 PM.   See you there.
