Grand Opening Planned

Message from the President

As is evident by the progress to date, the current Board of Directors has been volunteering on your behalf to re-establish the Victoria County Historical Society and move forward. The current lack of funding has certainly been challenging, as we attempt to protect our valuable collection, while trying to keep up with operational costs. We believe, as do the members we have spoken to, that the protection of the museum collection is our most paramount priority and that decisions made by the Board should be in the best interests of the collection. We are asking each and every one of you to talk to your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and associates and ask that each of you bring forward new members to join the Society. Membership dollars and the support shown through such membership will go a long way to helping us to continue to the Society and preserve our collection. We are looking for volunteers to sit on our Committees. There is much work to be done, and we need your help.
