Dear Members,

          It is time for our 4th quarterly meeting for the year.  It will be held Oct. 21 at 6:00 PM in the main museum building. Refreshments will be served by Area 3.

Please try to attend as this will also be election of officers.

          The summer is gone but we had a busy season at the museum.

          Edinburgh Day turned out to be a very nice day considering all the rain we had in the month of August. Our crowd was down a little but all in all a profitable day. Thanks to several donations and the Lutheran Thrivent fund of $500 in matching funds.

          A big thanks to all who worked and cleaned on Saturday before our big day and to all the who baked for our lunch stand.

          On Sept 8, Mike Lux and Paul Rohbacker organized a Tractor Ride to Hale and back eating lunch at the Hale Tap.

          In September we had 60 third graders from the Monticello Carpenter School come to the museum for a tour and picnic. They come every year and seem to enjoy our museum.

          This year we had a group come out from the Linn County Youth Shelter. Their supervisor had been out to the museum to a Hasler picnic reunion and was impressed with our museum.

          This year we had several new visitors from other areas. IT seems we are reaching out thanks to Sharon's website.

          Our Grant committee is still working but it's hard.

          We have raised the dues for 2008 to $5 a single and $10 a couple.  We hope to raise a little money to help out with our expenses.

          Jennifer Braden is organizing the Safe Halloween again to be held Oct. 28 from 2 to 4 at the museum. We will need a few members there to help out. Plans will be discussed also at this meeting.

          Hope all can come.  See you there at 6 PM on the 28th.
