THE SCRIVER SCRIBBLER
Winter 2007
Annual Meeting continued from front page are they working together? These are the questions being posed by a group of Northfield archivists, librarians, historians, and museum professionals in an effort to develop an ongoing partnership among local groups involved in preserving Northfield’s history. The Northfield Historical Society is at the heart of this effort.” Another highlight of the evening will be the formal recognition of our Volunteers of the Year, Laura Wett and Bob Phelps. A former President of the Society, Bob Phelps has continued to be active in our Adult Posse, giving tours in the summer and volunteering in the Museum Store. Laura Wett is a college-bound senior at Northfield High School. She has been very involved with our Junior Curator Program, and has served as a Summer Assistant for the past two years.
