PAGE 2 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1»74 Set Aside Historical Group Plans For Renovation Work The McHenry County Historical society had hoped to put on a Christmas display of old time ornaments, a collapsible cardboard creche scene, old time greeting cards, and etc., but the board of directors last month decided to go ahead with renovating the second floor. The first floor Was becoming overcrowded with artifacts. The society had just been granted permission open the first floor to the public^ when the decision was made to proceed with work on the second floor. It would not be safe to have people walking there. As soon as the workmen are gone, there will be a need for many volunteers to move cases to the second floor, artifacts, wash and clean cases, and arrange displays. Interested persons are urged to give some of their time to helping preserve the history of the county. The renovation work will be paid for out of funds that were borrowed from numerous banks around the county. In the meantime the society has been paying interest on these funds and donations are needed to repay the loans. The society had bad luck in that the roof was beginning to leak in several places and had to be replaced before work could begin on the second floor. It cost over $9,000 to replace the entire roof. Donations can be taken off the income tax if paid before Dec. 31. Memberships are another idea. Membership dues pay for the "housekeeping" expenses: light, water, heat, office sup­ plies, stationery, printing. A quarterly news letter is sent to all members Donations can be specified for special projects such as recovering the lovely pink brocaded, carved sofa that holds a prominent place in the music room. Estimated cost is $350. The donor's name will be placed above the sofa giving credit for its restoration. The society is in the process of accessioning two or three estates and many historic items are among them. Old photographs, documents, clothing, jewelry, portraits, etc. If an appraisal is obtained the value can be deducted from income tax. So don't throw away items stored out in garage, or attic or basement. The society extends season's greetings to all who have helped in preserving the history of McHenry county.
