Welcome Sign News

Brian and I were out this weekend working on the Welcome Sign. Well, Brian worked; I supervised.

We put up most of the name boards we had. There were a few we did not hang, as they included the names of community members who are no longer with us. We will be contacting those families regarding their wishes for the name boards.

If a name board was up there, we left it—even for folks we know have moved away. As we make repairs and work out an equitable dues and accountability system, we will remove the name boards of folks who no longer wish to participate.

Thank you. If you have any questions or would like to pay for the coming year, please call Margaret Patterson at 826-3539 (day) or 826-3589 (evening).

Our family would like to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone for their cards and for their help celebrating Gail’s life by attending the memorial service, dinner and Tom’s Tavern “Drinks on Gail.” We’d like to give special thanks to the ladies of the Syringa Club for the wonderful dinner, all those who donated dishes so generously and the Elk River Ambulance Service for their expertise when Mom injured her leg. The unselfish service they provide Elk River residents is vital to the community. Your support helped us tremendously. Thank you so much.

1. Tracie Peterson – “The Hope Within” – VVVG Romance Historical 1800’s religious w/bonus story short “Susanna’s Hope”

Comments: This is an heirs of Montana series book. Virginia City Montana Territory 1886 – Land Barons – Large ranches and the little big horn era. Lots of religion, but not bad… a little violence, mild romance Very well written... A MUST READ!

Comments: My kind of murder story! Still murder, but not offensive, just very interesting and entertaining!

Comments: It’s easy to read and follow the line of the story... Even with changes in venue…..

The Elk River Free Library District Board of Trustees has cancelled their regularly scheduled meeting for November.

Elk River RAC applied to the Idaho State Historical Society for a $5,000.00 Grant for Pole Banners for our Centennial upcoming in 2010, here is the response letter….

I want to thank you for your application to the Idaho State Historical Society’s community grants program. Unfortunately, your proposal was not awarded funding. We had a large pool of applicants and a very limited supply of funds. The decisions on what to fund and what not to fund were very difficult.

If you would like to discuss the grants process please feel free to contact me. We are hopeful that we will have funding for a community grants program next year, and we would welcome another application at that time. If we do receive funding for this program again next year, we will have grant application guidelines available in July 2009, and they will be available on both our internet site (www.idahohistory.net) or also by contacting me.

Again, I do want to thank you for your application. I am sorry we were unable to assist you this year, but we do appreciate all that you do to preserve Idaho’s history.
