January 2023 Newsletter

Dear Members and Friends of WFHS,
A new year is dawning and the Board of Directors of WFHS is looking forward to more adventures as we explore local history together. Many of you had the opportunity to enjoy a variety of rotating displays at our History Center in Howard over the past year. We will continue to experiment with new ways to utilize that beautifully restored building this year.

2020 Spring Newsletter

We hope this finds you safe and well during these very uncertain times. We want to thank those of you who paid your annual dues before this pandemic became our new reality. Several of our major expenses, such as taxes and insurance on the historic church building/history center, will still be incurred, so we appreciate your loyalty and support during this unprecedented time. We appointed two new Board members, Casey and Debbie Hildebrand, to serve until they are officially elected at our next annual meeting. So although our programs and tours have been suspended for the time being, we are still active and we want to keep in touch with all of you.
