The Society much appreciates the monetary help to re-roof the entire Old Museum, plus give the building a face lift. This project has been completed and you should be as proud of the finished project as is PCHS. The present project is to install a heating system in the New Museum building. The temporary electrical heating system should be replaced, plus it will give the society members a chance to work within the building during the winter months when there is more free time.

On April 19, 2003, the Society will hold its second COMMUNITY BREAKFAST at the Parker United Methodist Church dining room from 7 to 9:30 am with a FREE WILL Donation.
