On The Road Again

"I alone cannot change the world, but I cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."
~Mother Theresa

After a social media experiment, our weekly post updates will be resuming!
We sure did miss updating you all, we will get old posts up soon too!
We hope everyone had a wonderful and peaceful Easter break. If you have kids in school, we hope Spring Break was adventurous and memorable!

Today's program we welcomed Lena and Stephanie from the Chilliwack Museum Classroom program. Last year, when Matthew Francis came to our club to promote the museum, we were all in to help get students there. We donated $500 to help the museum- help schools with transportation costs so all students had the opportunity to be introduced to the history of Chilliwack.
Needless to say we learned the program was a huge success, and many schools were able to attend with the little extra help we provide. This year the museum has expanded their school orientated programing to include the "Classroom in Residence" program (Click here for the story from the Chilliwack Museum blog). This program gives students a one week intensive program to research, discover and work in the archives and history of Chilliwack. From our presentation, it sounds like it will be a very in demand program in the future.
Thank you to Lena and Stephanie for your time and visit, we appreciate it and we are definitely looking forward to seeing more from the Chilliwack Museum and Archives in the future.
We wrapped up our meeting with a fantastic round of happy bucks and best birthday wishes to Barry and Pete.
