Wow, what a year! And it’s not over yet! We’ve still got a sculpture workshop, our Spooky Art Show,<br />
our great Ansel Adams photography show and our holiday events to end 2008’s long celebration <strong>of</strong><br />
this museum being founded fifty years ago by the Junior Service League.<br />
We’re in good company. Texas Bank and Trust, STEMCO and<br />
Temple Emanu-El were also started in 1958. Nationally, Crayola<br />
crayons were introduced in 1958 on the children’s show I watched,<br />
Captain Kangaroo--ironically shown in black and white! Have you<br />
heard about the new crayon colors coming out this year with names<br />
like “Happiness” instead <strong>of</strong> “Rosebud Pink”? Can you believe with the<br />
‘60s and ‘70s it took this long to come up with that idea? Then (and<br />
this is looming much more personally for me) AARP was chartered in<br />
1958. As part <strong>of</strong> the Captain Kangaroo generation, I am becoming a<br />
member <strong>of</strong> the American Association <strong>of</strong> Retired Persons (due to my<br />
darling husband). If I thought it was rough with the museum turning<br />
50 this year, just wait until it hits me next year!<br />
However, the museum will not be retiring. We’re just getting started! We’ve got BIG plans for<br />
the future and look forward to sharing them with you--starting with our New Year’s Eve Bash for<br />
2008/2009! Come ring in the new year in LMFA style, with lots <strong>of</strong> food, drink, music and fun!<br />
Hope to see you soon!<br />

Then & Now<br />
1926 2008<br />
Take a look at how our current building looked back in 1926! The Main Street<br />
program that the City <strong>of</strong> <strong>Longview</strong> is involved in will match funds up to $15,000<br />
for any face lifts we want to do out front. If you’d like to donate to our building<br />
renovation fund, we’d like to upgrade our look on Tyler Street and incorporate<br />
the ArtWorks building into the facade’s flow, so we can help downtown look<br />
even better!<br />
