<p class="MsoNormal">Back by popular demand! The Greater Vernon Museum & Archives’ (GVMA) 2019 ‘Then & Now’ Calendars are hot off the press! This year’s calendar fundraiser was spearheaded by Jean Manifold, Gift Shop Manager & Special Events Coordinator. Jean
really wanted to go back to the ‘Then & Now’ concepts as “people just seem to love it! Who doesn’t like reminiscing about the good ole days?” Manifold exclaimed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The calendars were a real team effort. Museum volunteer Vivian Elgie, with the assistance of Archivist Liz Ellison, poured over the museum’s database of more than 30,000 digital images to select the historic photos you’ll see in the calendar.
The cover pays tribute to the Vernon Civic Arena with a photo dating back to 1937.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Vivian Elgie, Francois Arseneault, Lawrna Myers and Wayne Emde were tasked with taking the “now” photographs. Polson Park, Kalamalka Hotel, Okanagan Landing, Coldstream/Kalamalka Lake, the Vernon Court House, the Internment Camp, and Silver
Star Mountain are featured along with a number of other locations and buildings located in the Greater Vernon area.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ellison compiled the calendar, adding information about Vernon’s first mayor W.F. Cameron, a brief early history of Vernon, as well as the story of the beginnings of the Vernon Museum.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The 2019 Calendars are just $15.00 each and can be purchased in person at the museum, at the Village Green Shopping Centre from 9:30am to 5:30pm on Tuesday November 13<sup>th</sup> and Wednesday November 14<sup>th</sup>, or through our
website at <a href="http://www.vernonmuseum.ca/">http://www.vernonmuseum.ca/</a>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“The board members of the museum even have a friendly competition going to see who can sell ten calendars first. The winner gets to buy the staff coffee! If you know a director, help them out and order a calendar or two directly from them!”
said Denise Marsh, the museum’s Marketing & Communications Coordinator. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The museum staff and directors would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to our printing sponsor, Wayside Press for making this fundraiser possible. All money raised from the calendar sales will go directly to support the museum
and its programs. <o:p></o:p></p>
