Tavern Talk January 11, 2010

Good Morning & I hope the New Year has been good to you so far.......

 January is normally a quiet month - but not this year!  The Museum Building is experiencing a boom!  Between rentals meetings and new events - yikes.  The calls are coming in for Farmers Market, Wine Fest AND Kentucky Derby!!!

 Farmers Market starts in April with the Wine Fest and Kentucky Derby is the first Saturday in May.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:

We could use some extra hands for these fund raising events.  Farmers Market could use help with planning, events handling and day of logistics.  We need gate and ticket sellers for Wine Fest, and lots of folks for Kentucky Derby; if you can help out, please volunteer early, so we don't have to plead with you to help.

If you are interested in Line Dancing, we have a new class run by Joy Hendershot, on Wednesday nights, starting with a beginner class at 7 pm, going into an intermediate class at 8 pm.  Come on out and get some exercise with Joy.  The class is in the Transportation Museum Building.

 Yoga is still in progress on Mondays - please get in touch with David Scarborough for that class.

The Annual Meeting is on Tuesday, January 26th at 5:30 pm - Pub Nite follows the Annual Meeting.  Please come to the meeting, get a status of the foundation, gather with friends and members and have a snack after the meeting.  Please bring a dish to share.

Remember to update your email address with the office - sometimes people change their email and forget to let us know - that means you are out of the loop!

Building:

 Well the heat is on, the whole building is painted, we have our certificate of occupancy and the furniture should start arriving tomorrow!!!!

Looks like it is going to be a great 2010.  As soon as I have a date for the opening of the restaurant I will let you know.

Thanks for hanging in there....

Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

We are in need of a volunteer coordinator for the docents, if you are interested in that opportunity, please let me know.
