(and other objects available for transfer from the Vernon Museum and Archives)<br>
<div lang="EN-US">
<div class="gmail-m_4605555478532896145WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, its day 5 of the Vernon Museum and Archive storage room reorganization! And today we have some more objects available for museum transfer.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As my grandma always told me, there is no point in having nice serving dishes if you don’t show them off. So today we have a mid-Victorian mahogany sideboard available which is just perfect for the task. The top resembles a vanity, with
a round mirror graced by carved flowers and leaves. Below is a large shelf lined in green velvet, just the right place for showing off that silver punch bowl which I just know your museum has. (989-109-102)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A nice, simple wall mirror. It’s a rectangle supported by a warm brown frame, and it is ready to hang! The surface of the mirror has just a few discolored spots, giving it a hint of age but in the most
<i>charming</i> way. (993.66.01)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We also have a second mirror, the long narrow kind for the inside of closet doors. It’s from the 1940’s, with a gold colored frame with some simple carvings. I didn’t bother asking who is the fairest of them all because I already know its
Ryan Reynolds. (05.16.3)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have you read the news lately? If you are a smart museum you will be currently busy planning for the end of the world and boy do we have the perfect item for you! An electric generator, gas powered made by Wico Electric Co., in Springsfield,
Mess. It’s about the size of a bread box, its PR Serial Number is 8125 and its patent dates are for 1919-20. It even comes with two flywheels and an outside pulley! It does not, however, work. It’s probably missing a few parts. So maybe rethink that end of
days plan. (1969.014.001)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are you even allowed to be a museum if you don’t have a sewing machine? Make sure you are up to museum code and accept our sewing machine. Its treadle style, cast metal with black enamel finish w/ gold detail. It comes in an oak cabinet,
and the top lifts to form a table. It dates to 1893. (2007.036.001) <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An adding machine made by Burroughs. It’s black, with white and black keys and a roll of paper already in it. Some of these bad boys are awful big, but this is perfect for your table top. As long as you have a good back you can even carry
it around with you tucked under one arm. It’s ideal because your visitors can play away on it.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sometimes the biggest delight in visiting a museum is discovering an older version of something that’s very familiar. Delight your visitors with our floor polisher. It’s made by Johnsons, and its electric with a bristly brush on the end
of a long black handle. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have a blacksmith display I bet you have tools floating loose all over the place. Organize your exhibit today with our handmade blacksmith tool holder. It’s long and wide, but also shallow, with two sections and a handle on top.
(05.36.1) <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Remind your visitors that staying warm in winter wasn’t always about Tim Hortons or cranking up the thermostat and accept our coal shovel. It’s a bit rusty, but it would still work as a display piece. (996.2.135)
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A pair of snow shoes that look roughly made. The frame is wood with the bark peeled off and it has been bent into a circle and held in place with a web of roughly cut leather. However, the story goes they were made by an 80 year old man
as a quick example of how to make snow shoes if you are ever caught in a blizzard. By accepting these snow shoes you are teaching your visitors survival skills they may one day need, so like, by saying yes to these shoes you are basically a hero! See I told
you we had an object that can save lives! (54-81-5) <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We also have a second pair of snow shoes which are more professional looking. They are made of carved wood, with a fine woven center, and have festive red fuzzy spots up the sides. They are probably useless in a real blizzard as there
is no way to attach them to your feet. But they do look nice. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A large mangle iron. Its white, it’s rectangular, it has two legs and comes on a wheeled metal stand. The idea is you can feed fabric through it and, get this, it can iron a shirt in just 4 ½ minutes!!! Ours even comes with wings to fold
out to make a work surface. (2017.036.001) If you are really excited about this object then I have good news for you, we do in fact, have two! (1996.019.001)<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am happy to send photographs or more information. If you wish to have one of the objects listed here today for your museum shipping costs will be your museums responsibility, and in some cases there will be an extra fee for shipping
materials. If you are interested please contact: <span class="gmail-m_4605555478532896145MsoHyperlink"><a href="mailto:Carolyn.ben@vernonmuseum.ca" target="_blank">Carolyn.ben@vernonmuseum.ca</a></span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks and stay tuned for day 6!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

We were advised to reach out to other museums, to get a sense of how you have developed your mission statements and for advice on how you prioritized projects when developing your strategic plan. We are in a unique situation where we can't find any prior mission statement(s) or strategic plan(s), so we are approaching this situation without anything to guide us. We are also made up of a relatively new board and staff so we are feeling a little bit overwhelmed! Any advice you can provide is greatly appreciated. :) </div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks,</div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Melissa Koftinoff</div><div dir="ltr"><br>Curator/Manager,</div><div dir="ltr">Nakusp and District Museum<br><div><span><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B0aCq8wiNtw1TzBkZTNVZ3FuT3c&revid=0B0aCq8wiNtw1QjdLblFZa0RHaVVTSFdkM3RUTVFYT2JqZmVVPQ" width="200" height="145"></span><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

bare speakers of all shapes and sizes set upright on a large wooden table. Like a conductor at the head of an orchestra, visitors will create a sculptured music symphony with their movements and position in the space. Light sensors are inlaid into the edge
of the table and as viewers move around the room, their shadows will cause the various sound and instrumental tracks to fade up, overlap, mingle and fade down.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Whether the sound of an organ, violin, electric guitar, horn, tonal vocal track, or a cacophony of many musical compositions is heard, will depend on where the audience
walks and how many people are in the room. When the space is empty, the table fades to silence.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
