Work Day - 03-05-11

We do have a work day scheduled for Saturday, March 5. We have some sad news though. Richard, one of our devoted workers who has not missed a workday will be unable to attend. We are hoping several strong bodied folks will show up on Saturday! The plan is to finish pulling off paneling in the courtroom. It is glued on and really stuck! The carpet came up nice. The paneling came off the other rooms really quickly. Hope to see you Saturday!

Work Day - 02-26-11

Gracious Me! I got so busy with the Soup Fundraiser that I forgot to post the work day! No wonder folks were asking yesterday about the work day today (because I know you all are checking the blog but too shy to post someting.) Yes, we will be working today. We are ready to pull off the paneling in the courtroom upstairs and take out that false ceiling to let those beautiful wood beams shine through! Both of the upstairs rooms have had the paneling stripped and are ready to lose their false ceilings today too. We have at least two new volunteers arriving that I know of, so come on in if you're not busy!

Exciting, Exciting.... EXCITING!

We have had 27 viewers just this morning! Thanks to ALL OF YOU who are checking in on the progress of the work days! Please use this space to post comments about our progress! It is such an exciting time for everyone interested in this restoration project. Don't miss our Funder this Friday, 11 to 2. And... if you have an auction item to donate or can bring in cookies.... we will be there at 9:30. Please email one of our board to let us know what will be arriving. Have a great week!

Professional Contributions to our Project

Hello All! Just wanted to use this Post to let everyone know the TERRIFIC NEWS!  I've been very busy working on coordinating all of the community resources available. LOWES in Neosho is working with us! I received word from Tom, the Store Manager, this morning! THANK YOU TOM! - Raylene

Fund Raising Progress

This project is going to take everyone! Hope this Chart helps to keep all the viewers updated on progress made! This post will be updated monthly to keep everyone in "the know" about progress!





Surname Funding Project

This is another opportunity created by your Board to raise funds for the Courthouse Restoration Project. What you will receive for your contribution is a space to permanently display your chosen surname. You can provide your family's history and the Society will place your information in a notebook to be shelved alphabetically in the Research Area of the Museum. It is not the intent of the Society to replace any genealogical efforts in the county, but to enhance and expand the portions of the museum that already provides family information. Examples of expansion are the displays on the Centennial Farms or the Veterans. We already have one contribution pledged for this expansion and are anticipating more. Pledge now and begin preparing your family's heritage to begin this wonderful expansion effort of the County's growth.

Adopt A Room Funding Project

Your Board has created a variety of opportunities for you to actively participate in the restoration process of the Old Courthouse. For those of you who can, we have made an option available to adopt a room. When you do so there will be a gold plaque inlaid into the woodwork where all can see upon entering your room. You will be able to design the inscription. We recognize that the dollar amounts are high to adopt a room; but if groups or families join together to help defray the total the project is doable and can be a success! Perhaps two generations may desire to honor their ancestor who settled in the County. The cost divided by several families would be minimal.

Work Day - 02-19-11

I think it's pretty safe to say that Pineville will not be thawed within the next two days what with that 13 inches of snow we just received. So.... We will schedule our next work day on February 19. The temperatures should be up and we can continue with our project. We will need a shop vac or two, and the usual hammers, pry bars, screw drivers, etc. I'm sure we'll come up with something tasty by then for lunch. Anyone brave enough to post a response here to let other viewers know of their plans to attend?
