Writing reports for the annual general meeting makes me look back on the previous year. Do you ever stop at the end of the day and feel like you accomplished nothing? There were a few days when I felt this way. Now I realize with all that has happened I must have accomplished something.
When we compile everything that was done throughout the year at the museum it is amazing how many events, projects, exhibits, and collections have been completed. None of these would be nearly as successful without the help of staff, volunteers, and the board of directors. Many would not have even been attempted without financial support from the Federal, Provincial, and Municipal Governments and our sponsors.
Once again this year we have managed to fulfil our goals of operating the Dickson Store Museum, educating the public about the history of Dickson and the surrounding area, and promoting an appreciation of local heritage and culture. We maintain a well groomed site, conduct education programs and other group tours, install temporary exhibits, and host many special events through the year. As well as care for a collection of approximately 8000 artifacts.
We invite visitors and tourists old and new to visit us in the 2012 season that will commence in Mid-May. In the meantime continue to read our blog and check out our website at www.dicksonstoremuseum.com .
