     The museum staff has now completed the movement of the Library collection. Facilitating this process were three people who were confirmed in new positions created at the last trustee meeting in May. They are Jim Kreuzer (as Librarian), Bob Hobday (as Photo and Graphic Librarian), and Mike Csontos (as Manual Librarian).

     We also have a third building ("Building 3") added to the New Museum Compound. This building will replace the Annex that we now use as part Museum, part storage and work area. We are planning to move a large portion of the Annex to Building 3 by Winter.

     Jack Roubie has started work on the locks and security system, and we are in progress of planning for the end use of the floor space. We expect to have several repair stations, a wood shop, and areas for display fabrication and storage.

     We have just received a large donation from Kodak of Ham and test equipment. The museum staff is making plans for the movement of the collection to the Annex in the next few weeks.

     We are also in the planning stages of recombining the Club with the Museum. The will concentrate our resources to keep the organization going strong for many years to come.

     The May meet had a very good turn out with many vendors both inside and out. The auction had a lot of very choice items from the museum. If you missed this one you missed a good one.
