Heritage Museum Board of Trustees  Peggy Prichett reported that she has been approved and sworn in to the board.  She will be our liason at this time of transition.  She also reported that the Monument Museum have plans to completely reorganize their structure so that they can possibly combine their organization with the Heritage Museum.

 

Library  Neva gave members copies of the latest plans for the library in the Heritage Museum building.  It includes possible exhibition space.  We discussed our hopes to work with the town to insure safe storage and exhibition of the collection.

 

Insurance Neva has asked the town for a new appraisal of the collection for insurance purposes.  Steven Snow, a licensed appraiser, will do the work.

 

Budget   The commission will be meeting with the Board of Selectmen on January 18 at 5:30 pm to discuss the budget.

 

Annual Report  The annual report is due on Friday, January 12.  The commission reviewed Neva’s notes.  Connie Black will try to type up a draft from the notes.

 

Installation of work in town buildings  Neva reported that work has been installed in the Council On Aging offices and the DPW office.  The Assessors office at town hall has requested several pieces which will be hung this month.  Neva has plans to install at least 30 more pieces in town hall offices.  We are hoping to have this done before town meeting so that we can show the town the new exhibition.  Neva has received 100 security hangers for this work.

 

Slide shows  Connie Black hopes to arrange another slide show of the collection at her home early in February.
