Greetings from the Pickering Museum Village Foundation: We want to thank all those who already support the Pickering Museum Village Foundation with the renewal of their membership. It is greatly appreciated. We would also like to extend an invitation to those who have not yet become members to join us at this time. The Pickering Museum Village depicts the cultural, social, and economic history of Durham Region from the early 1800s to the turn of the century. The museum village is an important educational facility, providing hands-on experiences to more than 18,000 students annually, as well as a centre of tourism, hosting a variety of special events throughout the year. To view these events please go to the City of Pickering’s website at cityofpickering.com/museum or pmvf.ca or phone us at 905.683.8401. In 1996 the Pickering Museum Village Foundation was established to raise funds to preserve, upgrade and expand the facilities at the Museum Village. Through local fundraising initiatives and by accessing grants, we have completed many large projects including the reconstruction of the Puterbaugh Schoolhouse, interior restoration of the 1850 Bible Christian Chapel, renovation of the Redman House and the restoration of the Brougham Temperance House which had its grand opening on June 19,2010. We continue to have great expectations in completing many more projects that will enhance our museum. We are hoping that our members will feel welcomed to join us to help in any way they can to participate in the events that are happening throughout the year. We are looking for volunteers to help at the Pickering Museum Village Foundation Bingo at the Delta Bingo Hall in Pickering. If you are available to help with this fundraiser, it would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Suzanne Derome at 905.683.8401. In our efforts to be sustainable, we would like to reduce our environmental footprint. Please contact Laura Coulter at 905.683.8401 with your e-mail address if you would prefer to receive correspondence from us electronically. Greg Oakes is supervising our website and we hope to be able to share all of our news and information with our members throughout the year. If you have anything to add to our website, such as, pictures or comments of the events you have attended please contact Greg Oakes at 905.683.8401. To keep updated with our work, visit us at pmvf.ca regularly, or add us to your favourites. As the new Chair of the Foundation, I’d like to introduce the new Board of Director’s for 2010-2011. We have had a successful summer running the Whodunit? a Murder Mystery Dinner and the Fall Family Festival. I’d like to thank the members of this Board and all of the volunteers who helped put these events together. As usual, we are always looking for new volunteers and Board members, so if you are interested, please call us and introduce yourself. Pickering Museum Village Foundation Board of Directors:
