The <strong>Consul</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> Board was excited to share reports of their<br />
successes, and an interesting and entertaining picture show at<br />
their Annual General Meeting on Monday, <strong>March</strong> 25th. Thank<br />
you to all who came out and supported our event!<br />
Our board will be keeping the same bright faces and busy hands<br />
for another year. Hats off to Joan Parsonage, Yvonne Leismeister<br />
and Jackie Zilkie for stepping into another 2-year term! Ann<br />
Behrman, Louis Stetar and Susan Pridmore make up the rest of<br />
our devoted team.<br />
If you have visited our website lately...www.consulmuseum.ca….<br />
you will have noticed that more stories are being added to the<br />
Pioneer Voices page. We feel privileged that these people have<br />
allowed us to capture their memories and share them with you.<br />
Look online to find videos of Laura Parsonage, Louis Stetar,<br />
Sigurd Brekhus, Jim Pridmore, Beulah Pettyjohn, Norm Tenborg,<br />
Archie Smiley, Helen Schmidt and Les Fairbrother. And more are<br />
coming soon.<br />
Past and current issues of The Reno Reader can also be found<br />
on the website. If you or anyone you know is interested in being<br />
on an email notification list, just send us your email address and<br />
when a new issue gets posted, you will be the first to know.<br />
Subscriptions by mail are also available for $20 per year<br />
(basically the cost of postage and envelopes).<br />
Looking ahead, the <strong>Museum</strong> would like to compile a picture<br />
show to have on display for <strong>Consul</strong>’s Centennial Celebration.<br />
Weddings, <strong>Consul</strong> & area events, everyday life, family times—all<br />
types of pictures. We can bring our scanner to you, so the pictures<br />
never have to leave your possession. Call one of us to arrange<br />
to add your photos to the display!
