busy week

kia ora katoa;  it has been a very busy week at the museum. We have had  two exhibition development meeetings and we are moving forward, slowly, at times it can seem agonisingly slowly but - we will get there. We have been shifting the archives from off-site storage  to the museum and this takes ages. So many boxes to move, so many heavy cabinets and drawers.......so many papers and photos. Each box has treasures that we have to look and consider for inclusion - it is a huge task!

In addition to all that work we have been out in the community, reading to the children at Patea Library Plus as part of Library Week. Mr Muggs, the Library Cat bears a remarkable resemblance to Sassy, the Patea Library cat. They could be related, except that Sassy tends to catch small birds rather than rats - so many feathers!

We have had to accept that we willnot ghet the museum open before Xmas - the funding has not been forthcoming and it is nonsenical to set a date until we have the funds.

So, we soldier on. One more busy week in the life of a small museum that desperately wants to get the doors open to the public...........calling all benefactors..............

ka kite ano.
