Pasta and Chocolate Luncheon at RBC

If you are among the many Americans that enjoy a good variety of pasta, you will not want to miss out on this event at the Royalton Bible Church, 8457 Bunker Hill Road in Gasport. Pasta is good enough to stand on it’s own, so if that were all we were going to have, we would go home with a full belly, a warmed up heart, and good fellowship.

Everyone is invited to attend the Pasta and Chocolate Luncheon on February 12, 2012

But, that is not all, there is CHOCOLATE, now who could pass up a night of pasta topped off with a desert like chocolate? That is especially true with Valentine’s Day so close!

The fellowship will be good, the food will be good, the only thing missing from a fantastic night, is you.

Plan now to attend this evening of fun, food and lots more at Royalton Bible Church. To reserve a place, please call, (716) 433-8030.

Treasurer’s Report: Balance as of July 9th: $3,038.06

Discussed:
• Music in the Park/Wine Tasting Event had mostly great feedback by attendees.

Directional signs are needed for the Restrooms as well as 30 promotional signs. It was decided that the tables and chairs should be rented along with the tent to reduce clean up work.

Become A Volunteer and Help Preserve An Important Piece of History!

The Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum is a vital part of Western New York’s cultural and historic community. The museum’s collection is filled with rare
and valuable artifacts that tell the story of an important local industry with
national significance. More importantly though, the museum is a treasure for visitors and residents alike, a place where they can come to not only learn about the past but build memories for the future.

Each year thousands of adults and school children come to tour the museum, take part in special events, and of course share a magical ride on the historic carrousels.

There’s nothing magic keeping the museum’s doors open, though—just the
dedication of many people. The museum relies heavily on the hard work, skill,
and passion of numerous volunteers for most of its operations—from guided tours to building maintenance. This summer we are looking for more such people to help fulfill our vital educational mission. Whatever your strengths and
talents, the museum has a place for you.

We currently need help in a number of areas, including admissions, the gift shop, operating the carrousels, construction and maintenance, tour guides, the children’s gallery and special events, and much more.

If you think you have what it takes, join us for an introductory open house
from 3:00pm – 5:00pm on Tuesday, August 9, 2011. Enjoy a special tour of the
museum and learn more about our fascinating history. Discover all of the
exciting volunteer opportunities available, and how you can help. Become part
of a fun and friendly group of staff and volunteers and discover one of the
most rewarding and FUN volunteer experiences around!

For further information about this or any of the museum’s special events,
programs, or tours, visit our web site: www.carrouselmuseum.org or contact
us at 716-693-1885 or info@carrouselmuseum.org.

Discussion: Winterfest 2011

Attendance this year was about 400 including 248 adults which was fewer than last year. Bad weather predictions may have been a factor. The general consensus is that having the event take place in one building is better. This will be possible for next year since the new wing of the school is complete. There was positive feedback about the activities.

Planning for Winterfest 2012 starts in April! It would be great to have more volunteers to help with the planning and organizing stage.

Thank you to Helen Feron and Heather MacDonald and all the vendors and volunteers for the great job they did.

The annual Dinner Mixer was well attended with 26 businesses represented.

Thank you Wendy for the decals.
