Cityoj Louisville COLORADO • SINCE 1878 Memorandum To: Historical Commission From: Bridget Bacon, Museum Coordinator Date: May 8, 2018 Re: Museum Coordinator's Report This year's volunteer appreciation event for the Commission members, Foundation board members, and regular Museum volunteers is scheduled to take place just before the Historical Commission meeting on Wednesday, July 18th. You'll all receive invitations and I hope that you can come! I'm happy to report that Jason Hogstad, who was last year's Visitor Services Intern, is returning this summer as Visitor Services Representative. Jason will lead four historic walking tours called "Louisville 101" in June and August this summer and will help with Art Walk events and regular Museum visitors. Also, the Oral History Internship position for this year was just filled, and I'm happy to report that Gigi Yang has accepted the position. Thanks to City funding, Tom Mensik was able to attend the annual conference of the Colorado - Wyoming Assn. of Museums when it took place in Cheyenne last month. The May Art Walk, which at the Museum featured the topic of "Lost Louisville," drew 123 visitors to the Museum that evening. Also, now that the weather is nice, Fireside Elementary third graders will visit the Museum next week for their annual visit. For the June Art Walk at the Museum, we'll have folks from the Louisville Society of Italian Americans to chat about their organization and we'll feature information about Italians in Louisville. Also, Diane Marino will give a walking tour of the neighborhood at the "Top of the Hill" in Old Town in June. Museum Visitors Report (these statistics represent visits to the Museum itself, and not inquiries that come in by email or phone): February visitors: 137; March visitors: 368; April visitors: 149.
