Council Valley Museum

This museum season we have most of our volunteer shifts nailed down, but Saturday afternoons from 1:00 - 4:00 is a problem. We don't have a regular volunteer for that shift.

At the New Meadows depot / city hall. I'll only be there from 10:00 - 2:00 on the 18th.

Somebody took a chair just like this on from on the stage that was set up for the 4th of July music. It belongs to the museum, and we would like it back.

If anyone is going to McCall soon, the Council museum has a sign ready (already paid for) at Rock Mt. Signs on S. Mission St. I'd appreciate it if anyone could bring it to the museum. Please let me know if you do, so I can post that and the sign place won't be having more people coming in asking about it.
