PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by Timothy Totten
Fall is upon us and the weather just might be dropping (fingers crossed). This time of year usually brings us a few weddings, like the beautiful ceremony that took place last weekend, and a chance to clean up after the midge flies, AKA blind mosquitoes, that blanket the outside of the white Clifford-Taylor house. Fall also means that several great events are coming up!
We have partnered with the City of Eustis to bring you a wonderful series, the Living Legends of Lake County, which you can read more about in this issue. Our next installment features four teachers who served the county both in segregated minority schools and later as educators in the integrated schools after 1968. These four women, Elsie Broomfield, Joyce Miller McTier, Mamie Rolle and Mayor Gwendolyn Manning have amazing stories to share, so please make sure you join us.
It's also important that you know that our annual Christmas House craft sale has moved! For the past 15+ years, we've held the event at the Eustis Community Center, but this year we have the opportunity for a more visible location at the First United Methodist Church of Eustis. This facility, located near the police station at the point where Grove and Bay Streets split coming into downtown Eustis, has more parking, especially for handicapped patrons, as well as two additional rooms for our use. As always, we will have crafts and artwork from more than 25 area crafters, including all your favorite items. Come check it out starting the week of Thanksgiving.
Our docent program is almost ready to begin giving tours, so if you've like to volunteer and
can read interesting facts off of a 3" x 5" card, you qualify! Call me personally at 352-242-
8111 to find out how to become a docent!
Sincerely,
TIM TOTTEN
President
Membership Benefits of the Eustis Historical Museum:
As a Business or Life Member, you get free admittance to the Living
Legends events. Other members and their guests pay only $10.
The monthly newsletter.
Business members get a business card ad free at least once a year.
All members get free museum admittance to both museums during
normal or pre-arranged business hours.
We now have free WiFi 24/7. Come sit on the porch for a spell!
Too often, the women in an organization are asked to cook and clean up after everyone else. We wanted to create a group where cooking and cleaning were voluntary. Simply put, we will never require you to cook and
clean to be a part of this group.
In truth, our job is to go around Central Florida visiting important sites to see what wonderful things our area has to offer! We are truly “ambassadors” of the museum and our primary mission is to have fun and promote our own
historical society.
Who Can Join?
Membership in the First Ladies of the Eustis Historical Museum is open to any member of
the Museum.
What Kind of Outings are Planned?
In the past, we have toured historic homes, attended a tea party, watched mermaids at WeekiWachee Springs and visited the zoo.
How Much does it Cost?
Membership is included in your museum membership. Events may have minimal costs involved, such as a small tour fee, depending upon the site. Most trips involve some type of meal, which you may choose to purchase.
