Woodside Methodist Church Closing;
IPS School #21 Museum Moving
This necessitated
finding a new home for our memorabilia museum collection. Joe
Whitsett has stepped forward and is graciously providing room in the school
building to display it for us, and as always, welcomes us to hold our reunions
there.
Arrangements for
the move and actual display are in the works and we will let you know when that
is to occur.
We are in hopes
that some of the alumni will volunteer to helps us pack, move and set up the
museum in its new location when that time comes and along with the use of
trucks, if any of you have one and are willing to help.
We will hold an
open house at the church so friends and members of the church along with alumni
can visit one more time before the move. The open house will be on a
Sunday with time and date to be announced.
This will change
our reunion plans but will not interfere with our reunion which will be held on
30th, the last Saturday in July. We will announce time and locations when new
plans have been finalized.
We wish the
congregation well....and thank them profusely for their friendship, generosity
and for hosting our reunions over these many years.
It has been 16
years since we established the museum at Woodside, and while there have been
many class reunions over the years, it was 23 years ago when we held our first
"All Class Reunion".
Isn't it
interesting...we are returning home, so to speak. Looking forward to seeing you
soon.
