Notes from the Papinville business meeting

Papinville Historical and Cemetery Association held its regular yearly business meeting on April 11th. There were twelve officers and members present. Beverly Sullins called the meeting to order. Marcelle Marquardt read the secretary and treasurer reports and they were approved.

Several orders of business were discussed. Repairs on the historical bridge were discussed in depth and then tabled until we could obtain more detailed information. The fourth Saturday, September 22nd was set for our annual fall picnic. The rest of the meeting was spent in finalizing the plans for our May 5th, Harmony Mission Day. The all day event will begin at 10:00 a.m. There will be tours, meal at noon and events going on all day on the school/museum grounds. The men of the organization helped Phyllis Stewart and Beverly Sullins complete the Harmony Mission diorama by placing the glass over the entire display. The Papinville Historical and Cemetery Association hope that all who visit on May 5th and in the future will enjoy this diorama showing how the mission area looked. The Association and the organization want to thank both Jerry and Angela Stangel for all their help in making the tours to the area where Harmony Mission was located.

They are the owners of the property and without their cooperation and help this event would not be possible.
