Museum Director’s Notes
Debbie Benson, Museum Director
A friend was telling me how much Halloween and the festive colors of Fall enlivened everything! While we may not have the golden walkways and highways of some areas, I do agree that the kinder weather with that touch of chill in the night makes it easier to be more energetic. Many tasks that had been delegated to that hour after sunset all Summer are now safe to proceed with any time of day. One cannot help but think of the ant and the grasshopper and the advice given -try to just get it done! But also take the time to go find some golden leaves in some of our neighboring communities in the mountains and foothills.
For us at the Museum it is a time of activity! The Fundraising Dinner Auction is on the First of October and is a great chance to see friends and support the Museum. Closer to the end of the month we have the Open Studio Tour. This is a personal favorite that I have enjoyed attending and being a part of. The creative talent in the Indian Wells Valley is to be enjoyed and the inspiration to others to be appreciated. Many thanks to the artists who are a part of this yearly endeavor.
We will have some activities at the Maturango Museum during the Petroglyph Festival Nov 4-6.
Our new sign is in place and there are many people to thank for their financial support. Many thanks to Peter, Bob and Larry for their continued help during this endeavor. We thank Encore for their sign and support and Electrical Solutions Electricians for being our electricians at a moment’s notice. We appreciate all of the people involved who pulled it together. I hope we enjoy it for years to come.
Take care and thank you all for being a part of the Museum and our community.
