Museum Awards of Appreciation.
One of the many happy aspects of our recent Christmas gathering was a presentation by President Geoff Harris of “Certificates of Appreciation” to some notable members of our volunteer team. Notable due to the fact that they have all spent years of their personal time, talents and energies in the rapid and significant development of Samford’s museum complex.
This has in some instances required as many as four to five days dedicated effort in a week doing work ranging from catering for our many visitors, entertaining and doing demonstrations, building and rejuvenating a huge variety of objects as well as the very important work of compiling a large treasure trove of Samford history.
Congratulations and our sincere thanks to each and every one of these wonderful awardees. There are other volunteers who have already been awarded “life membership” in recognition of their efforts. However the success of our museum would not occur without the dedication and enthusiasm of all volunteer members who richly deserve the highest accolades.
Whilst the museum has become a popular Samford attraction there is still so much more to be done and we welcome anyone interested in joining us.
APPRENTICE AWARDS
A second and fun filled event took place when our master trade painter Alan Morris unexpectedly decided to present his team of 3 apprentices with a certificate of indenture as part of their on going training. They are referred to as “The A Team.”
