We want to thank the following individuals and organizations for recent assistance. These are generous, wonderful people! George Kastelle and Don Wynnemer upgraded museum lighting again!

Also in early March, Darv Tollefson and his STS Team helped move artifacts to new permanent shelving, and other heavy lifting around the museum.

These volunteers lend assistance to the newsletter mailing, artifact processing, signage, etc. Thanks to John Pribble for transporting new display panels to the museum.
