PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

NEW BLOOMFIELD AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
MONDAY, March 08, 2010 7:00 P. M.
HISTORCIAL SOCIETY BUILDING

We are honored to have Randee Kaiser present our program this month. His presentation will include an overview of the history of one Missouri soda bottling company and a demonstration of several more imaginative and unique bottles in his collection.

Randee was a 19 year employee of the Department of Corrections at his time of retirement as Director of the Division of Offender Rehabilitative Services in 2006. In this position he was responsible for overseeing all of the Department's education and vocational programs, substance abuse treatment services, medical and mental health services, the Missouri Re-entry Program and Missouri Vocational Enterprises. Not too many duties in that job!

Randee is a Master Gardener and enjoys collecting antique bottles and studying the Civil War and local history. He has lives in rural South Callaway with his wife, Susan, since 1997.

So maybe he can help us with our plant questions as well as presenting a great program about his unique and interesting collection.

Please mark your calendar for this special program!

Don't forget the Society is open every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

A BRIEF NOTE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT

BRRRRRRR!!!!
We only have one way to go - up, up, up in temperature! Close your eyes and imagine the jonquils popping through the second week in March! It WILL get warm!

Without a doubt, it's been a cold, long winter. All of us are looking forward to a calm, beautiful spring so we can then begin to complain about the heat!

We've had some really interesting programs during the past several meetings, so I hope you will be able to come to the March event. As is always part of the update, Dave, Dale and Wayne have been doing a great job printing pictures, arranging displays and working each day to continue making our society a place to treasure and enjoy.

I realize many loyal members live out of our area, and I continue to express my sincere appreciation for your wonderful support and monetary assistance.

Our scheduled meetings are always (except when I read the calendar wrong!) the second Monday of odd numbered months. Unless otherwise noted, they will be held at the society. When we serve food, we go to an area church for the dinner.

I know everyone is busy with so many things in their lives. But please consider taking an hour or so on March 8 to enjoy great friends and an interesting program.

Thanks for your continued support and hope to see you next week.

CARWASH FUNDRAISER

Have you sold any tickets to the Kwik Kar Carwash? Remember - a $12 ticket makes us $6! It's time to see the real color of your car and truck after these past two months! We want to get a total of those sold at our meeting, so bring in your tally!

Dues are to be in by the end of October. We cannot continue to operate without your support. We thank each of you, whether you're a "townie" or a great supporter out of the area, for helping sustain our efforts! Where else can you have this much fun for only $25 per year?!

Regular membership is $25 per person and corporate membership is $100 per business.

On this site, we have provided a discussion board similar to those found on large genealogy related websites like Ancestry.com or Genealogy.com. It may not be quite a slick; but it functions reasonably well for an experimental addition to this site.

The intent of this discussion board is to provide a forum to discuss happenings related to the New Bloomfield Area Historical Society and to discuss historical and genealogical topics related to the New Bloomfield and surrounding communities area. Please feel free to use it for these purposes; but please limit your discussions to these general guidelines.

As you enter the discussion board page, you will see that there are a number of discussion topics at the main level and nested below them are responses at various levels to that one discussion topic. All of these nested responses below the main topic are referred to as a thread. As you click on a link to a particular discussion topic you will find that the subordinate links to that topic are provided on that new page so that you might follow the thread of discussion without having to return to the main discussion board page. If you wish to depart from the discussion thread, you may click on the [WWWBoard Version 2.0 Test] link near the top center of the page and you will be returned to the main discussion board page. By clicking on the "Return to Site" button on the main page you will be returned to the Home Page of the website. If you have made an addition to the contents of the Discussion Board, it will probably be necessary for you to Refresh the Main Page by clicking on the Refresh button on your browser toolbar or by clicking on one of the two Refresh links provided on the main page of the Discussion Board. Don't forget!

If you are interested in starting a discussion on a new topic, click on the "Post Message" link available near the top center of the main page and fill out the online form available at the bottom of that page. If you have finished reading a discussion on a topic and are interested in responding to that topic, click on the "Post Followup" link near the top center of that discussion page. These discussions form at various levels so please respond to the most relevant item within the topic to maintain continuity of train of thought in the discussion (called a thread). If your response is not related to the current thread; please be considerate and start a new thread.
