  • Minnesota History: Building a Legacy
    January 2016 This document is made available electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as part of an ongoing digital archiving project. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp Minnesota History: Building A Legacy Report to the Governor and the Legislature on Funding for History Programs and Projects supported by the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund Letter from MNHS CEO and Director Now entering its eighth year, the Legacy Amendment and its Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund has reenergized the field of history in Minnesota. Demand for history and cultural heritage funding has consistently outweighed available resources since the fund’s inception by a proportion of almost 4 to 1. Part of that demand includes 2015’s record amount of requests, $14.2 million, for large historical and cultural heritage grants ($10,001 and up). We were able to award 33 large grants, totaling $3.2 million. Clearly, Minnesotans are eager to ensure that our legacy is preserved for future generations. The Legacy Amendment has also been the springboard for the Minnesota Historical Society and our history partners to proactively involve citizens in designing history programs, particularly grant programs, through statewide town hall meetings, workshops, and citizen reviews of grant applications. MNHS takes its stewardship of Legacy allocations seriously, applying measurable outcomes and professional standards, ensuring accountability in expenditures. This report describes more than 50 Legacy Amendment-funded history-related programs and partnerships accomplished since January 1, 2015, the first year of the fourth biennium since the Legacy Amendment’s passage. It also includes descriptions of the 198 grants amounting to over $4.5 awarded in 2015.

    The NorCal News Volume 58 Number 7 The Poppy September 2021 President’s Column experience it with the help and support from your fellow NorCal members. If you have questions on how to prepare for a dry-camping rally, feel free to contact me, the hosts, or any other NorCal members you may know with dry-camping experience. This promises to be a very fun and memorable NorCal event. Some good news for our Affiliates (currently there are 20). NorCal is now enrolled in a new Affiliate Membership Program. This allows Affiliates to join/renew their NorCal membership at the same time as their home club on the HQ website. This new program greatly simplifies the process for everyone involved. This month’s photo is from one of the many bike rides Lori and I have enjoyed while Airstreaming. There are great bike ride opportunities nearly everywhere we go. At Glacier National Park in particular, we were unable to get entry tickets for the Going to the Sun Road until the last day we were there. However entry tickets are not I hope this finds you all well and safe from the hot required for bikes. We quickly learned that touring a weather, wildfires, and general poor air quality National Park by bike greatly enhances the experience dominating large portions of our State. Hopefully these (well, except for the sudden rain storm and bear conditions won’t effect any more rallies this year beyond encounters, but that’s a story for another time around the Quincy. Lori and I took the opportunity of the cancelled campfire).
