Annual Meeting results announced

Final nominations off the floor and then election of four trustees took place. Unopposed and reelected to three-year terms were Roland Koski, Suzanne Morris, Theresa Rinehart and Robert Rogers.

 

The final regular monthly meeting for 2009 was held immediately after the annual meeting. At the time, the trustees reelected Virginia Paulson (president), Robert Dobson (vice president), Donna Bjork (secretary) and Theresa Rinehart (treasurer) as officers for 2010.
 

Two Historical Pins Still Available

 

The Historical Society is still offering pins for sale as a fundraiser. Plans are in the works to have a new pin available each year depicting different mines in the area. Last year's pin, shown at right, is about one inch diameter in size, and will feature the Jackson Mine. This year's pin depicts "double-jacking," a method used to extract the ore. Pins are $3 a piece.

 

Historic Books and Maps Make Great Anytime Presents!

Two books are available to the public as a fundraiser for the Negaunee Historical Society and as a service to the community. An all-volunteer committee has put together these projects, with production donated by Plan B Publishing of Negaunee.

 

The Souvenir of Negaunee book is a reproduction of an old picture book, which contains many photos and advertisements depicting old businesses and neighborhoods.

 

The historical book offers a 90-page report of the development of the Negaunee area with regards to mining. It also includes a mining timeline, list of mines and a historical timeline, all with old photos.


A map containing the locations of most of the mines in the Negaunee location has been made available to this group for reproduction as a fundraiser as well. It comes with a booklet listing all the mines and their history.
