ma Cityf Louisville COLORADO • SINCE 1878 Memorandum To: Historical Commission From: Bridget Bacon, Museum Coordinator Date: Sept. 11, 2018 Re: Museum Coordinator's Report Thank you to everyone from the Commission and the Foundation and their friends and families, and other friends of the Museum, who were part of the Labor Day parade entry! It was great to see Tammy Lastoka's historic truck from the Harney Farm along with the banners, Frisbees, and so many people walking in the parade. An open house to meet candidates who are finalists for the position of Director of Library & Museum Services will be held at the Louisville Center for the Arts on Thursday, Sept. 20 from 5:30-6:30 PM. All Historical Commission members and Library Board members are encouraged to attend along with directors of the History Foundation and Library Foundation. The Fall session of Open Government Training for Advisory Boards will be Monday, October 29 at 6:30 pm in City Hall. Those Commission members who are due to attend this time are Jonathan Ferris, Gordon Madonna, and Betty Scarpella. It is optional for others. As a reminder, the Historical Commission previously rescheduled its November meeting from Nov. 21 to Nov. 28 to avoid having a meeting the evening before Thanksgiving. Thank you to the City of Louisville for replacing the wood on the wooden seating around the concrete pad on the Museum campus where we are hoping to see a new building addition eventually. The Museum is already using that area for activities during the First Friday Art Walks, and students coming on school tours will have a much better seating situation than students who have visited in the past. Also, the City has included funding in the budget for holiday lights at the Museum this year. Museum Visitors Report (these statistics represent visits to the Museum itself, and not inquiries that come in by email or phone): July visitors: 467; August visitors: 392; YTD: 2,493.
