WHO WE ARE
President's Column October 2024 Quarterly Edition
By the time you read this, the Trustees will have met, and I hope you’ll join us for our Annual Meeting on October 29th, 2024, at 6 pm, at the Minerva Community Center. We’ll vote on the 2025 Budget, fill Board seats (see page 3), and hear committee reports. I encourage you to attend—your voice is important! Cynthia Perkins will present the Museum’s 2024 curiosities display, including the wonderful K-4 drawings, essays, and quilt projects from their September visit. (Don’t miss the essay winners and pictures on pages 10 & 11. As we look toward 2025, there’s so much to be excited about. We didn’t manage to get the museum painted this year, so that’s our top priority in 2025. Our Treasurer, Julie Milner, is also hard at work on getting the museum building onto the National Register of Historic Places—a well-deserved recognition for a building that holds so much of our history. Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Minerva School District! We’ll be gathering school memorabilia and memories, and we hope our community will help make this a memorable event. Come back to school with us as we delve deeper into our school history through future quarterlies and on the blog section of our website. 2025 also marks the 75th anniversary of the Minerva Fire Department and the 70th anniversary of the Minerva Historical Society, established on March 22, 1955. These anniversaries reflect our town’s rich and vibrant history, and we are eager to share more of it with you throughout the year. 2025 promises to be a special year for Minerva, and I hope you’ll join us in celebrating the history we’ve built together—and the new history we’ll continue to make. Hope to see you on the 29th. Nancy W. Shaw, MHS President Other News This year marks significant anniversaries for many community organizations:
