. . . make light work, and indeed it was true April 28 when several HSM board members and supporters showed up at our new hall to help reorganize and spruce the place up in preparation for our Open House May 19.

Earlier, Nick Verni had supplied the equipment, and his considerable know-how as a career painter, to coordinate the painting of the interior. Tom Rapin and Geoff Samuels volunteered to help, and in two days the hall was bright and new looking. George Hendricks came early on Saturday to turn on the water and heat.

Turning out for clean-up day to scour the kitchen, empty the garage, wash windows and do assorted other tasks were HSM Board members Diane Galusha, Lucci Kelly and Carolyn Konheim, along with Steve Miller, Brian Ketcham, Alix Travis, and Tina Greene and her daughters Anna and Mary. Jenny Liddle stopped by the discuss exhibit options. (Wait till you see the ingenious exhibition station Steve has devised!) The place is looking great, and we’re excited to show it off. Be there on May 19, 3 to 6!
