A Visit With a Friend and a Choir Concert

It was another beautiful sunny day today. This morning my friend Margaret saw the RV parked at Dawn and Todd's when she went by and invited me to come visit her and see the new building that has been built by the Pacific Northwest Historical Society. I walked the couple of blocks down Whiskey Hill Road to the building.

 

The building was built on the grounds of Zion Mennonite Church, just behind the barn that is used to store Mennonite Central Committee donations.

This is the library portion of the building. It has a great many of the historical records of the Mennonite migrations as well as the stories of PNW churches and families.

This is the archival portion of the building with movable fireproof storage shelves --

Margaret is currently working on the records of the now-closed Peace Mennonite Church. All of the records are in boxes that need to be sorted and cataloged.

I had a lovely visit with Margaret. It was such a joy just to sit and chat with her!

Late this afternoon we headed for the auditorium of the Canby High School for their Spring Choral Concert. Granddaughter Havela not only sings in the select Cantalina Group and the Concert Choir, but tonight she was honored to be the Senior Student director of one of the songs (Lacrymosa) of the Mixed Choir. She did an excellent job!
