The Maple Festival! IVHS
is dependent on fundraising and donations, and the success
of this event is important to us. Please remember that all our work is done by volunteers.
No one is paid. The funds we raise are used to pay utilities,
insurance, printing, postage, supplies and repairs.
Join us at The Maple Festival in Franklinville,
NY for food and fun. We will have a raffle for gift baskets
and gift certificates, and a silent auction. The winner need not be
present to win. If you are looking for books to enjoy this summer,
check
out our display featuring
many of the latest mysteries and publications. Prices range from
25 cents to 50 cents. No hardcover is over $1.00. Finally, please
consider giving your family and friends an IVHS
membership.
This
year's Highlight is a beautiful queen-size quilt
with a bumble bee theme. It was created and donated by Suzanne
Linderman. Tickets
are now available at 3 Park Square and at the Maple Festival.
Tickets cost 1 for $5.00 and 3 for $10.00. The winner will
be chosen on Sunday, April 27th.
This event is the main fundraiser for our organization. We have
had a serious bee problem at The Miner's Cabin and it is crucial
that we address the issue this year. We have also discovered
structural problems
that need our attention. Our Queen Anne Victorian mansion is
130 years old. To save this historical home, fund raising is
important. If you are interested in helping preserve our history,
please come to room 221 during the Maple Festival to support
us.
Please come out and support the Franklinville The Maple
Festival
and the Ischua Valley Historical Society.
Wishing
You Well!
While there is no mask mandate, if
any of you wish to continue masking we
will understand. Thankfully, we have become more
knowledgeable in how to stay healthy and still enjoy social
events. Please keep this in mind as we move forward together. See
You Soon.
Watch for more details, and final dates
and times as the year progresses.
These will be posted here,
in our quarterly Newsletter, and in our local Newspapers.
