DUES A big thank-you to all those members who responded so promptly and generously to our dues notice in March. Of our 136 memberships, 71 have now paid dues for the year 2000. Of the 71 paid-up memberships, 20 of these are patron ($25.00) or benefactor ($100.00) members. As you know, our museum is composed entirely of volunteers; there are no paid employees. However, we depend on your financial support to pursue various projects designed to preserve the history of the Township of Ocean. We have purposely kept our dues very reasonable, only $5.00 a year. If your mailing label is highlighted, you do still owe dues. As your new president, I would dearly love to be able to report that all 136 of our memberships are fully paid. If you still owe dues, please mail your check today. Thankyou. Ginny Richmond
QUILTERS Since 1988, a group of talented quilters have met on Tuesday nights in the Museum to create a handmade quilt. Each quilt is raffled at our annual exhibit in December to raise funds for the museum. The quilters are now hard at work, under the direction of Marge Edelson, creating this year's quilt. New quilters are always welcome.
