Thank you to Contemporary Kitchens & Glass PTY LTD. for the donation of 2 sheets of white, bright melamine to enhance the needlework display. The pink top and bottom backing was
servicable but quite dull in this corner.
Love the way locals support our Museum.
Head out on Sat 2 til 5 or Sunday 10 til 1 to check out the finished display.

This week our volunteers cleaned, registered and conserved this century old Honor Board. Tricky to get it back on the wall, but we succeeded. Over 3500 items are now registered.
Our 2 ancient "War" cabinets are in need of replacement.
A tax deductible donation (as we now have DGR status) to help us continue our upgrades can be made before the EOFY.
