The society's on-going project of improving the original museum has progressed well beyond our dreams when we set out to re-roof the south half. We are proud to announce that the north half also has a new roof. And was also able to replace the outside tin siding. The color is 'barn yard red' and very close to the second museum building and it looks very sharp. Come and see the finished proJoct that you helped to finance. A big "THANK YUU" to all the contributors.

The Wall Display Quilt Rack that was given away at the Alumni Banquet, won by Juanita Holdernan, was a good success. Thanks for your participation.

The Society's first community breakfast held at the United Methodist Church was well attended and successful. We appreciate all of those who joined us and ate well. Hope to see you at the next one.

The bake sale on Parker's City Wide Garage Sale day left much to be Desired. Several other communities, close by, held a sale the same day. Shoppers to Parker were few and far between.

Five large boxes of veterinary books and journals was donatedated to the museum by LaVern Harold, Class of '39. The oldest journal dates back to 1929. Thanks, LaVern.
