Seasons Greetings,

We would like to invite everyone to an open house @ the Old House Sunday Dec. 11th from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. The address is 7331 Azalea glen Rd. We will be serving refreshments. Have a look around and visit with old friends and make some new ones.

Look for our news letter. It has a review of what's gone on this last year and a story by Jennene Johns about the Redfields. Also if you haven't paid your dues and would like to, there is a form for you to fill out and mail back to us.

If you aren't able to come to the open house, our next meeting is Wed. Dec.14th @ 10:00am 7331 Azalea glen rd.

Yesterday We hosted the Canyonville Historical Society for their annual fall meeting. It was so wonderful to have so many folks in the old house.
This event was the idea of Jennene Johns who thought it would be good to bring the two historical Societies together. It ws a fun time.
Jennene and Ceil Booth made sure the old house was at it's cleanest best. Betty Fisher brought beautiful Mums for the tables, which along with the chairs and sound system were brought in by Andy Owens. Marian Owens also helped to set up. The meeting was preceded by a great potluck. We hope to host other meetings in the future.

Don't forget we have our own meeting this Wed. the 9th at 10:00am @ the Springer/Martin house on Azalea Glen rd. Hope to see you there.

I am so happy to report that the Country BBQ and Car Show was a success. We made $2,220.00. The money will help pay for insurance and power bills for the next year. I really appreciate everyone who helped out. The day before the BBQ we preped the food at the high school. It was fun vistiting with everyone while we worked. We couldn't have asked for better weather the day of the BBQ.
The car show was a big hit. Thank you to everyone who brought your car or pickup to share. Thank you also for the ideas you shared for making next years even better.

Had a pre workday, workday. Although I missed out on much of it. Ceil Booth along with Andy & Marian Owens cleaned the chuck wagon and mowed the lawns. Whew! Marian (mom to me)& I spent time taking out yellowjacets & hornet nests. Cranky critters. They can so put a crimp in a bbq.
CCHS held a meeting on wed. it was well attended. We plan to have a work time at the high school on Sat. morning Sept 10th to prepare food for Sundays BBQ. Will set up for the BBQ early Sunday morning.
Hope to see you all on Sunday Sept. 11th between 1-4.

Friends of CCHS,

As I mentioned on my last posting the economy has brought our restoration work if not to a stand still , to at least a crawl.

We need to make money. One of the ways we are exploring is to open up the grounds for events such as weddings,reunions and anniversary partys. We don't have a fee schedule as of yet but are working out the details and hope to open up for events as early as next summer.

Keep us in mind. If you have questions one way to get them answered is to attend one of our monthly meeetings. Held every second wed. @ 10.00am @ the Springer/Martin house 7331 Azalea Glen rd. Glendale.
We are having a special meeting Wed. Aug.31st at 10.00a.m. to discuss the BBQ. We need volunteers to help with the BBQ.

Come by, see if we might be the place you want to say I do.

Kathy Martin
CCHS Pres.
