Changed Venue for Our October Meeting
The Discovery Center, our usual haunt, is all tied up with activities associated with the 25th anniversary of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic River Act. On at least two occasions in the past your board of directors has considered visiting area museums and/or historical societies to get idea on how to display or preserve family artifacts and to learn what genealogical resources they have for research opportunities. We will be meeting at The History Museum in Hood River on October 8, 2001. As usual the board meeting will be at 10:30 AM and the regular meeting at 1:00 PM. It is located at 300 East Port Marina Drive. Use Exit 64 from I-84 and turn toward the Hood River Bridge. Then turn left onto East Port Marina Drive. Keep left; go around all the construction equipment and you’ll see the museum sign. Bring a sack lunch and we’ll all have a noontime picnic under the BIG Paddle Wheel (or inside at the tables if bad weather). Casey Housen, Education and Volunteer Coordinator, will describe the resources at the museum, give us a tour of the displays, tell of the renovation effort currently under way and answer questions. There will be no charge for members; Guests pay $3.00.
