January newsletter

The January meeting was held on Jan. 21. Dorothy Quinlin reported
that we made a profit on the Christmas dinners. Members who would
like particulars can contact Dorothy.

Members have been busy removing the Christmas decorations at
the museum. A big wind blew down some of the wreaths on the front
of the country store and something else will have to be done next year.
The wreaths were hung with suction cups that couldn't withstand the
high wind. Anyone interested in helping with next years dinners can
contact one of the board members. You don't have to be a member to
help out.

Congratulations to member Don Gusching who was elected to the
village council.

Tom Busse has been doing a lot of painting in the museum and it is
looking very nice.

Speaking of members, dues are $10. The annual dinner is scheduled
for April 18th. A letter will go out to members later on.

Many of you might remember the historical sign on 66 north of town
beside the Fleckenstein farm. It was knocked over and before anything
could be done about it it disappeared. If anyone knows what became
of it please let someone from the Historical Association know.
