Our thanks go to the Municipality for this grant. ^ 1 i 1 i ; , ^ : ; Ì i A n Examination of Our Current Mandate If you read our mandate as stated on our web site you will find that much of it has to do with things we no longer do. There has been a great change in the Society's relationship with the Museum over the past few years. In the beginning the Society was sort of an auxiliary to the Archival Museum that was then in existence. Our chief mandate was to collect archival material and providefinancialsupport for the Museum. Currently it is no longer an Archival Museum, rather it is now an Art and Architectural Museum. The funds they need are not something we can supply We must adapt to the new reality Currently we support the Archives through fund raising projects and assistance where needed. Therefore, a committee will be struck this fall to examine the current mandate and recommend an amended one. Stay tuned.
