We worked for and achieved our goal of a Community Museum. This is -iust a good start. The future goals should incl-ude developing the Park Complex; it's Lrails and paLhs and planlings of specialty gardens, roses, chrysanthemums, eLc. AnoLher goal must be the bullding of a structure dedi- cated to the preservation of our agricultural history. This structure coul-d be so arranpqed that space for performing arts could utilize it's shelter; an open ain theatre concept being one idea. As the Park is developed and people util-1ze it's facilities rest rooms wilf be needed. Just another use for a wing of bhe Agriculfure BuiIding. Various kinds of-farm shops, smoke houses, harness repair rooms, as well as a farm kitchen with all of it's home canning equipment shnt ll rl ha an v+uvaqY.d i <n l rrr Enough for materialistic goals.

Randofph Schnabel, Presjdent COMMUNITY MEMORIAL MUSEUM NOTES Mary Allman, Director/Curator New construction, new events and new exhibits await the Community Memorial Museum this spring, as we look forward to a new parking lot, a membership party, and more concerts and exhibits. The Public works Department of sutter county has begun the task of e_xpanding the Museum's front parking lot to accommodate two rows of parking. The new, expanded parking area will allow space for 38 automobiles, as compared to room for only 14 now. This has been made possible by the Sutter County Board of SuperVisors, who saw fit to appropriate almost 55000 toward the expansion and renovation of the Museum's front parking area. We are grateful to the county and the Board of Supervisors for their continued support. The Museum will be holding its First Annual Membership Gala, at the Museum, on Saturday, May 18, 1985, from I to 4pm. The afternoon will feature food and beverages and live entertainment. The party is open to all Museum and Historical Society members and their guests. Also in May, the Museum will feature its Fifth Annual "Wine and Posies," on Friday, May 3, from 6 to 8pm. Wine will be furnished by the Charles Krug Winery, and, as always, May baskets will be furnished by local businesses and individuals, and raffled at the event. Also, the Museum Commission and Auxiliary Dollhouse will be given away at the Wine and Posies. Tickets are still available at theMuseum for 51.00 each or 6 for S-:.00, so be sure to have your tickets before May 3rd. The Mini-Arts Concert Series continues to bring the community superb concerts and performances featuring local artists. Sunday, April 2lst, the Museum will ieature Christie Estabiook, Alison Hasty, und' :of,n Cage in a concert of vocal, violin and clarinet selections. On Sunday, May 5th, John Bresnahan will present his clarinet quartet in concert. Perhaps the best concert of the year will be on Sunday, May l8th, when we feature the Young People,s concert. All concerts begin at 2pm. A $1.00 donation is requested at the door. Beginning April l9th, and continuing through May, the Community Memorial Museum is featuring the Young People's Art Exhibit, featuring two and three dinensional works of art from students in Kindergarten through the Eighth grade. During the summer months, the Museum is considering an exhibit in remembrance of the 30th anniversary of the 1955 Yuba City flood.
