Visit from a county judge
| Judge
Tim Creany, on the right above, President Judge of Cambria
County, visited Liberty Museum along with Hugh Ballsinger,
left, head of the Cambria County Community Service Program.
They were given a tour by project director Jim Toth, center.
Judge Creany was very excited about the project and even
stopped to make note of the old stage and commented about
the old colors and layout. He said he is very impressed
with what we are doing and how the County is helping through
the Community Service Program. He reviewed the record
keeping and talked with Rich McDowell on family members
that they know in common. He intends to continue his support
for the Liberty Project and said the program is filling
a big gap in a variety of locations. He wished us the
best and thanked us for our efforts in improving the community.
Judge Creany's uncle, the late Mario Creany, was a teacher
and administrator at Nanty Glo, Nanty Glo-Vintondale and
Blacklick Valley High School for many years. |

Help from an expert
| Coleen
Chambers, director of the Indiana Historical Society.
fourth from left above, recently visited the Liberty Museum
for a tour and to show us the proper way to accept and
track inventory, introducing us to the common inventory
control programs and the paperwork involved. She contributed
several hours of personal time to help us and make sure
the system that we need to purchase works with the insurance
company's requirements for coverage, proper ways to store
and tag items, and related laws and system pricing. The
help she gave was greatly needed and we appreciate all
her time and support. On hand to receive her were, from
left: John and Helena Dropcho, Ron Weekes, (Ms. Chambers),
Janet Toth, and Jim Toth. |

Our volunteers have been working on all of these projects using
the funds donated and raised by fund-raisers. We have been able
to provide food, drinks, and snacks to our volunteers. The paint
on the front of the building has been revoced with a power washer
donated by Hite Coal and Equipment Company of Carrolltown. Other
donations include scaffolding by Deetscreek Construction of Johnstown,
funace service from Hoover Heating and Air of Nanty Glo, and a
new oil tank by Walter Lindrose of Nanty Glo. It is difficult
to list all of the supporters who have helped this project, but
as work progresses we will attempt to update you with our "gifts
in kind."
Please
support this community project.
Make a donation today to keep our volunteers working and our project
moving forward.
