Museum curator Sharon Vansaghi has created a very nice military veterans display in the parlor of the museum. It was created to coincide with the veterans parade on Saturday 9/12/2015 but will be on view until Veterans Day in mid November. Everyone should be sure to stop by and see the display at the museum. A reminder to all of us that freedom comes at a cost.
Marion Star newspaper publisher, Bill Swinford, recently joined the Williamson County Historical Society and has given the organization regular weekly space in the paper. We will have the opportunity in which to post articles related to Marion and county history as well as articles related to the museum and its activities. The first article was just released today so watch for the articles to appear weekly in the Marion Star.
An annual meeting is planned for the Williamson County Historical Society and its members to be held on Sunday, October 25, 2015 at 2 P.M. The meeting will reflect on the previous year and detail future plans for the organization. Election of upcoming 2016 officers will be held and a nomination committee has been formed for the event, nominations for board positions will also be entertained from the floor on the day of the meeting.
Board positions for president, first vice president, second vice president, secretary, treasurer and one director will be determined at the meeting by a vote of those present. All active members in good standing are eligible for nomination to a board position or may suggest a potential nominee by contacting us at the museum, by email at wchsmail@yahoo.com or from the floor at the meeting.
Further details on the meeting will be released as soon as they are worked out as to the program and location. This is an opportunity for all members to become more actively involved in the society and voice your opinions on the future direction of the organization.
The museum and genealogy library will be closed on Saturday, Sept. 5th and Monday, Sept. 7th in observance of the Labor Day weekend. We will reopen on Tuesday, Sept. 8th. Have a safe weekend.
