Fox Lake Hist. Society-- Part 4: The Minneola, Grant High Yearbooks and Docents

And, speaking of the Mineola, a couple months ago the local papers were reporting that it  has been sold and that it would be torn down, but rebuilt with features of the old structure.

But according to a member of the Jakstas family in attendance it may or may not have been sold.  We'll know for sure in August.  There is also word of a TIF District, but what that will entail is also not known.  It might be for up to 23 years.

******************************

Recently, we received Grant Township High School yearbooks for 1947, 1948 and 1950.  We keep one of each year, but will sell extras.  Have yearbook will sell.

We are asking $65 per book.  Classmates is asking $100 for theirs.

******************************

We still need docents for the two days a month we are open to the public.  That is the first and third Sundays.

******************************

Looking for ideas for fundraisers.

I'd like to have one of those "Open" flags to fly out front when we're open.
