OAHS Board Highlights ~November 2022
Joel Olsen, president
Treasurer Luke Heiar continues to refine the budget creation process so that we can have a clearer idea at the Annual Meeting of our operational expenses.
Museum Coordinator Dixie Brown is working with JoAnn Swenson to update the Rural School signs; the project was completed several years ago, and now some signs are either missing or showing their age.
The Area Business Exhibit is in process of being updated, as is the Horse exhibit.
The Tuesday staff – Heather Young and Dixie Brown – are working with a team of students from MATC who are updating our website. This school project is being done at no cost to OAHS; they will train Heather to maintain the site.
Three of our Tuesday volunteers recently attended a training event at the Mount Horeb Historical Society regarding digitizing our collection. We have purchased a new scanner what will enable us to scan many of our paper documents for better preservation.
Our volunteers have logged over 350 volunteer hours in the month of October!
The Annual Meeting will be on March 19, 2023; we are working to select the location and arrange for a program.
The OAHS will participate in Tuesday Sharing Day, to be arranged by Heather.
Christmas at the Museum will be held on Saturday, December 10 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A Victorian Christmas will be the theme.
The Board accepted the resignation of board member Dawn Grinnell.
The Board will not meet in December, resuming on January 11, 2023.
