When I became co-president I inherited two big binders full of old newsletters. I was looking at them again recently and wondering what I should do with them. This, along with seeing Pat’s old pictures being posted, I came up with an idea. I called the Stearns History Museum and talked to Steve, and explained to him what our group is and how long we have been in the area. I asked him if he thought this would be something worth archiving at the center. He said he thought it sounded like a great idea. He said to check with the group and see if I can get “buy in”. I am not sure exactly how this would look, if we would have physical things there, or if everything would have to be scanned/archived, but I thought I would check with the group to see what you think of doing something like this.
We would for sure include the details of our history, the old newsletters, and other items such as past events and volunteer projects, past presidents/board members, memorial award winners, etc. I don’t know if we would have a physical presence there, meaning a box full of things, but if we did we could put old SCRR our clothing, Wobegon medals, etc. Of course we’d have pictures from - Breakfast runs - Group trips - Races - Other events This was shared on Facebook, and the idea got good feedback. I plan to go forward with this unless I hear from anyone who has concerns.
