2015 Opening Social

Tuesday, April 14th we held our annual opening social at the church.  We had a great turnout and enjoyed each other's company.
There were 3 new members announced:
Launa Stephens Blonquist
Virginia Richins
Marsha Stephens Crittenden

And 3 anniversaries celebrated:
Joye D. Ovard- 50 years- Orlene presented Joye with her pin and told a few fun facts about her.  When she was just a toddler she was out with her brother chopping wood and had the tip of her finger chopped off!  She also had a bobcat run in between her legs as a little girl.  She played on the Henefer Schmoos softball team.  She said she mostly played the bench (haha!) but also played field and short stop.  She also said she pitched a game and the balls went everywhere!  Congratulations Joye!
Pam W. Robbins- 40 years-  Unfortunately Pam was sick and not able to be present for the social.
Patty Richins- 10 years- Wendy presented her with her pin.  Congrats Patty!  She seemed very surprised to have it be 10 years already.

Business discussed:
What to do with the cabin?  The suggestion was made to have the lot sold with the building AS IS.  It would be a closed bid sale.  Moving it to the new location is not feasible financially.  Any other ideas are welcome!  An official vote will be taken at the next meeting.

There was a quilt found in the old cabin made by the Henefer 1st ward primary.  If anyone has any ideas what to do with that please let Pam know.

A sign up sheet for lessons/histories/refreshments for meetings the upcoming year was passed around.  If you're interested in participating in any of these roles please contact Pam or Wendy.
 

Out with the Old, in with the New

The last few months several people have been working VERY hard to get the cabin cleaned out and all of the items moved into the new building.  We thank you all so much for your hard work and dedication to this move.

The old cabin is all but empty now:
The new building is coming right a long and with everyone's help will be up and running by the open house/dedication on June 20th.  It is such a blessing to have so much space to set up all of these amazing artifacts!  There are so many things no one was able to see because there was no room in the old building to display them.
