Trunk Show http://www.friendswoodhistoricalsociety.org/images/notesLarge/5.png http://www.friendswoodhistoricalsociety.org/images/notesLarge/5.png Cline 3rd graders visited the Frank J. Brown museum this month and Westwood Elementary kids enjoyed our Trunk Lady Margaret McDonald and her helper, Sally Branson who brought to the school a trunk full of artifacts from our historical past. We hope to see more children visit the museums and also have the opportunity to see the trunk show. YOU are NEEDED http://www.friendswoodhistoricalsociety.org/images/notesLarge/1.png http://www.friendswoodhistoricalsociety.org/images/notesLarge/1.png Every Saturday morning 10 am to 12 noon we open both Museum sites for visits from the community. If we had a list of twelve willing docents for each venue, a docent would work only one Saturday a quarter, that's just 4 times per year. It is not necessary to "know everything." It is only necessary to welcome visitors. A mentor will work with you the first time. To get on the Heritage Museum list call Susie Westphal 281-992-4342. To volunteer for the Perry House call Steve Rockey 281-648-1311. DO YOU DO CRAFTS? http://www.friendswoodhistoricalsociety.org/images/notesLarge/2.png http://www.friendswoodhistoricalsociety.org/images/notesLarge/2.png We will be sponsoring the CRAFT SHOW at the FIG FEST. If you do crafts or you have a friend who does, call this number: 281-482-2290. You'll get Ann Whitaker. She has all the scoop, and she'll get the information to you. LIKE HISTORY? http://www.friendswoodhistoricalsociety.org/images/notesLarge/3.png http://www.friendswoodhistoricalsociety.org/images/notesLarge/3.png We're always gratified when local businesses display some local "old Friendswood" history in their decor. We appreciate requests for photos from Village on the Park, Main Street Grill, and Hometown Bank. The most recent request came from the new Raymond James Financial Offices . Stop by the businesses and enjoy their displays. THANK YOU, MARY http://www.friendswoodhistoricalsociety.org/images/notesLarge/4.png http://www.friendswoodhistoricalsociety.org/images/notesLarge/4.png She wouldn't tell you, but we will. Mary Perroni has agreed to provide a newsletter (probably quarterly) to go to all Historical Society members to keep us apprised of our preservation efforts and opportunities. What a great contribution! Thanks!
