>Why doesn't someone from the Historical Society keep us posted to news by way of internet. That is a very good question. Is anyone from the Historical Society on this list that could do this? > I'd join the society but the last time I checked, I couldn't afford to do so. Maybe they have lowered their rates? I don't know what the dues were when you last checked but I got a Membership Form when I was down there and here are the current *annual* rates (calendar year as near as I understand) . . . don't ask me what *participation* entails, this is what is written on the form . . . $10.00 - Individual Active (assumes participation in activities and projects) $15.00 - Joint Active (assumes participation in activities and projects) $25.00 - Contributing (participation in activities and projects optional) $30.00 - Civic or Service Organization $50.00 - Corporate or Business $150.00 - Individual Life (= one time payment) $200.00 - Joint Life (= one time payment) Would be nice if a Society member were on this list and could explain what *participation* entails. I grabbed up a flyer from the front desk about the Historical Society as I was leaving and didn't see the Rate Sheet until later so didn't have a chance to have the different options explained to me. > . . . but Gasconade hasn't been as responsive as the other two . . Now this is the *Historical Society* which is the new archives center in Hermann - not the one in Owensville, so we might be talking about two different entities. > I called a lady at the Historical Soc. on the 25th of July and was told it would be OK to be late as long as I had it in no later than the 15th of Aug Now I am beginning to get ticked off, despite my easy nature. They told my sister and myself that day (July 30) that if we wanted a picture included we had to do it *THAT DAY* and we had to order the books *THAT DAY* as well. We had to hurry back home and dig out the box of pictures and go through it and get back down there before they closed. > Was that news in today's paper?
