Grant from CTOS










Many thanks go to the Community Trust of Southland for recently granting us $250 toward the purchase of a 50" flat screen tv and peripherals. We plan to broaden our displays and cut down the cost of printing photographs by having them on screen. This grant will help achieve that goal.

We're open Wednesdays and Sundays, 2pm-4pm, and by request. Your comments are always welcome!

AGM Update

Our AGM last month brought in a few changes. We welcomed new trustees, Jim Carson and Graham Milne, and received a resignation letter from Muriel Brown. Muriel had retired as a trustee last year but continued on as Roster Manager and Museum Manager. We are grateful for all she has done for the museum from the moment of its founding in 2002. We also had a resignation letter from Merrin McCrory who was our treasurer for the year.
