SPECIAL AWARDS PRESENTED AT SPRING DINNER
At the Spring Dinner Meeting on April 28, two PCHS members, Dr. Norma Sturtridge (right) and Zelda Reeber, received special honors. The PCHS 2013 Volunteer of the Year Award was presented to Dr. Norma, who is going off of the board after 35 years of continuous service and having served as a museum docent. Until recently she participated in nearly every fundraiser PCHS held, from Tobacco Festivals, street dances, Roast 'n Toasts, and she also dressed in costume for the Krause Family Home Coming at the museum. Norma recently closed her medical office after 50 years as a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine. Norma hopes to still be an on-call docent when needed.
Also honored was Zelda Reeber in recognition of her ten years as head docent at the Ben Ferrel Museum. The speaker at the dinner meeting was Mary Kuehn, with a presentation on pop-up books. Hostess for the event was Lynn Cassity, second vice president.


Museum Exterior Improvements Completed

Board members pose around the back porch of the Ben Ferrel Museum after the meeting on Saturday, June 1. The porch is being restored this summer as part of the final phase of renovating the Museum. It will be lattice-enclosed when the work is complete.
