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.
