PRESIDENTS' THOUGHTS FOR THE FOURTH
The July forth weekend with the fireworks, picnics, time
spent with family and other festivities provides us all an opportunity to
celebrate our great nation. It also
provides an opportunity to assess the 2009 year.
We are now half way through this year. Obviously the economy is not what we would
prefer, but the museum is operating at full throttle (pardon the pun) and
attendance has been reasonably good considering the weather.
We have already achieved a number of objectives for the
year. The snack bar is up and running as
is our committee charged with fundraising through donations and grants. 355 is on the line running for the public
and our track department is busy keeping 355 and the other cars on the
track. The theatre is up and running with
a film for the public to see and work is progressing on re-building the doors
to both Woods Barn and Kelly Barn. All
of the museum departments are busy in their various pursuits to keep the museum
in operation. There is truly a lot going
on around the property and a lot of good work being accomplished.
We still have 6 months to go with a lot to accomplish before
the end of the year. We are already
planning for the Halloween and Christmas seasons and with the expanded
schedule, we expect the next six months to be even busier then the previous.
Thank you one and all to our members for your continued
support and volunteering. Have a great Holiday
weekend, whether you are spending it with your
family, friends or with your Museum family.
