A New Year

The History Club is back at it and as always, staying quite busy! A few updates:

1) The History Club is under new leadership!  Ellie Riihiluoma remains president, Mercedes Moffett is Vice President and Payton Grescyzk is Secretary/Treasurer. These ladies will do a fine job of organizing meetings and making important decisions!

2) The History Club will no longer be doing newsletters. Instead, we're staying busy with the following activities: Our partnership with the ML Area Historical Society brings field trips, displays, research, and events. We will also be looking to join the National History Club and continue to participate in the History Day project. With the remodeling of the Library Media Center, we also have the opportunity to create a monthly display on local history or local ties to large historical events. The History Club has also decided to look into taking another trip. This time, THE OREGON TRAIL!!

3) Members of ML History Club recently went to the Depot to discuss project ideas and catch some new exhibits. Students have the opportunity to participate in a vintage clothing fashion show this spring. Here are a few photos from the evening:
