Dessert Auction

Work Day: 29 October 2011

We didn't have anyone show up this morning except for Jerry & Virginia and Fred & Raylene, but we did get quite a bit accomplished. We're ready to order in some drywall. Come by next Saturday and join in. We need tons of help to make this work! This is a Community museum so come be a part of the project.

UPDATE: July 4

HAPPY FOURTH AMERICA!!!!

Wanted to post an update for those faithful followers of our blog. The Joplin Tornado in May impacted so many of our lives in ways that no one could even imagine. All of our volunteers for the Courthouse Project diverted attention to disaster relief. We can't even begin to name those fellow McDonald Countians who were physically, emotionally, and mentally impacted by the disaster. But.... as we all celebrate our Country's Independance Day and as Joplin continues to rebuild, it is time to re-group and move forward!

We will be holding a meeting at the Museum this Saturday, July 9, at 11:00 a.m. to discuss future plans and to get our project back on track. Watch for future posts with a new set of plans for our Project.

Work Day - April 30

It was a good day, although not many showed up! Virginia and I (Raylene) have blisters on our hands from working so hard. . . and we won't even talk about poor Fred's and Jerry's backs. The four of us concluded we are too old for this! Sure would welcome some help next Saturday..... Thank you Jen for the sandwiches!

I SEE WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF FOLKS LOOKING AT THE CAR SHOW FLYER!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE COME JOIN IN THE FUN! WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU BRING YOUR CAR AND SHARE OUR ACTIVITIES. WE'RE WORKING HARD!

Work Day - March 26

Well, I forgot to post again about the work day! It was a great day though! We have sparked the interest of several young people. Woo hooo!!!! Thank you Brent! We enjoy having you, and it will be a great story to tell your grandchildren some day. There are only bits and peices of the paneling left around those hard to get to areas. All of the false ceilings are down. It sure looks different. We will be working again next week.... cleaning up and getting ready for the heating and air to be installed.

Courthouse Workdays

We will begin the restoration project with a series of workdays beginning January 8th at 10 a.m. We will work until we're tired (probably 3:00 or so). Come join in the fun and the beginning plans for the new Museum!  How exciting.
