Between early gifts, funds raised at our inaugural Rockin’ Rendezvous, and gifts received since, we've surpassed our $5,000 goal! With $5,000 being generously matched by the Cooper-Newell Foundation, that brings our total to over $10,000 raised to help us expand both the contents of, and access to our oral history collection. 🎉 We’re grateful to everyone who contributed to this fundraiser and joined us for our celebration of local storytelling at the Hilltop Tavern in August. We’re still reeling from the enthusiasm this first-year event generated and cannot overstate how special the multigenerational representation in the storytelling was to us. Bringing people together to be inspired by our community’s people, places, and stories is what we’re all about. Thank you for showing your support and celebrating with us. While the rendezvous has past, we will continue accepting gifts to JCHS collections through our Rockin’ Rendezvous page <https://jchsmuseum.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=11155357fd6e7ba31f3d5bf1 1&id=dc295ae20d&e=73f4f21267> . We’re already looking forward to bringing this event back next summer. Do you have suggestions for future rendezvous venues, themes, and storytellers around Jefferson County?
