AVRM Newsletter Sept 2019 Vol.3 No.4
A whirlwind of excitement and activity
The 2019 Fair is over and the sweet treats and carnival delights are packed up and gone, or in some cases, eaten!
Our museum groundbreaking was a highlight with our Board of Directors, Fair Board members, Lancaster City Council members, and several past AVRM Directors. What a wonderful accomplishment of the AVRM Board to receive the checks from Supervisor Barger’s office and the City of Lancaster for $100,000.00 each, although the City of Lancaster upped the ante by $1.00 to have a bigger check than the County. Friendly competition is always great. I would also like to thank Debbie Dino for manning the Museum during the Rural Olympics so all of our Board of Directors could attend the Groundbreaking Ceremony. Our two Fair Directors, Debbie Dino and Gary Van Dam, have been doing a tremendous job for us, Thank you.
Now that we have construction started, we must continue fundraising to finish construction and then onto phase 2 of the building. Please plan to attend our Annual Night at the Rural Museum on Sept 28 from 5 to 8 p.m. – Ticket cost $50.00.
We received a note to the community from R. Rex Parris that was very complimentary. We thank the Mayor for his comments. Please see page 2 for the Mayor’s note.
FUNDRAISER DINNER
