Reading of the minutes and treasurer's report was followed by a discussion of the Liberty Museum building project.

There was a well-deserved thank you from the members to past president Janet Toth and also to Barbara Teeter, who worked as Secretary.
OVERVIEW of the February 7th 2008 meeting
President John Dropcho obtained donations of items useful to the Society and the Museum from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and these were delivered to the Society by Jim Toth and the volunteer workers from the Museum. The donation from IUP is for nonprofit organizations and will greatly help the Society.
Discussion followed on "The Wall of Honor." This opportunity will be sent out to our members along with the letter for the renewal of yearly dues in June.
Work Night on February 21st
Donna Davis had jobs lined up for all who wanted to work and it was a well-attended and enjoyable evening. Before getting busy on the work for the evening, several members looked at one of the latest accessions. Mr. Ron Rozsi from the Chickaree Union Church, better known as the "Jesus Saves" church, donated on "permanent loan" an orange and white quilt made by the Church Sunday School and given as a Christmas gift to Pastor Herbert Rager and his wife in 1938. The names of the church members are embroidered onto the quilt and the Pastor's name and date are in the center of the quilt. Mr. Herb Rager, a descendant of the Rev. Herbert Rager, had given the quilt to the church but the members felt they did not have the space to display it properly and wanted it to be preserved for future generations. Many of the Society members found names of their own ancestors on the quilt.

Overview
of the Meeting of November 1
Jackson Township presents $20,000 check
Building This meeting was largely about the interior of the building. The carpet color for the walls and also the floor was decided upon. Also the color of some of the track lighting but some of the lightening of the Multi Purpose Area is yet to be decided. The coating of the entire roof of the museum is completed. Rain spouting on the old Sheets side of the building is now complete.

Activities: We will be taking part in Jackson Townships Light Up Night on Nov. 24th. We will be decorating a tree with laminated copies of the pictures on the note cards that are for sale in the Nanty Glo Library.
Three books by Jon Kennedy, The Everything Jesus Book sold. Our next puzzle will be something from Blacklick Township.
Donation: Much of the talk of the evening was of the donation from Jackson Township. On October 29th, 2007, members of the Tri-Area Historical Society gathered at the Liberty Theatre with the members of the Jackson Township Supervisors. This meeting was for the presentation of a $20,000 check from the Township to the NGTAMHS for the Liberty Museum project. We have received $10,000 and have the promise of another $10,000 if and when we get a grant for that amount. This was a photo opportunity and Joe Vassalotti of the Journal and Judy Rose from the Nanty Glo Home Page took many pictures.

Overview
of the Meetings of August 2 and August 16, 2007
Our August 2nd business meeting was held at the Fellowship Hall of the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church due to the Nanty Glo Library's yearly Book Sale.
BASKET PARTY: Mr. Mike Soyka, a former teacher at Nanty Glo, joined us to explain a little more about the basket party we will be holding on Sept. 16th at St. Nick's Church Hall. There is a $5.00 donation at the door and with that the person will get a total of 25 tickets, plus one for the door prize. The GCU Lodge 401 has agreed to sponsor us for this event and we are hoping to be well supported by the community.
BUILDING: Jim Toth, our treasurer but also our project manager for the Liberty Museum, gave the report on the building and things are happening fast right now. The board voted to hire Keller Engineers Inc. and Kasun Architects Inc. both of Hollidaysburg. Kasun Architects Inc. will be responsible for getting the building's blueprints approved by Nick Bailey, the chief building code official for the Cambria-Somerset Council of Government. We are most blessed to have Rich McDowell on our board of Directors with his background as a draftsman. Rich has been working very hard on the many changes that have to be made in the plans of the building. John Dropcho is also involved in designing the inside layout of the museum.
Several Nanty Glo residents are asking whether the society had or needed a permit for the work being done in the theater. With no structural changes being made yet, there is no need for a permit. Removing of paneling, drywall and the old dropped ceiling is nearly 75 percent completed. We are also 75 percent done with the outside mortoring of the building and the paint on the front of the building has been removed.
The building has also passed the asbestos inspection by the state Department of Environmental Protection.
Our fund raising "thermometer" sign now hangs in one of the front windows of the future museum for all to see.
The August 16th meeting was our "work" meeting with several members getting things ready to take to the Vintondale Homecoming on September 1st. and 2nd. We will once again be using our tent for the event and last two days of selling of the raffle tickets with the drawing being on Sunday afternoon.
Included are some photos (above and below) … The Nanty Glo Homecoming exhibit (top and bottom) and the display of woodcarvings done by the late Frank Weight, Jr. (below). These were displayed at the Jackson Twp. Heritage Festival.

Overview
of the Meeting of June 7, 2007,
7 p.m. at the Nanty Glo Library building
Most of the time at this meeting was given over to discussion and making decisions on our building. At this time all the contents of the building have been removed, with leftover sale items going to St. Vincent DePaul's and St. Mary's Church for their sale later this summer.
We are now in the process of getting the outside of the building acid cleaned, tuck-pointed, and sealed before winter. This is a big undertaking and may be a very expensive one. All the old signs that were on the building have been taken down and that alone has given it much a cleaner look.
The parking lot was also discussed at the meeting. The lot to the north (toward the traffic light) has been leased to us from Nanty Glo Borough and we will fill in, grade, and spread shale for this rear entry/exit parking area.
Other happenings:
Several old photos were donated to the Society from Ron Rozsi of the Heisley and Webster Mine area and also of a local fire. Other donated photos from one of our newest members, Rita McGuire, were of several Teeter school classes, along with a very old family photo.
July will be a busy month for all of us with the Nanty Glo Homecoming at the Park and Pool on July 7th and the Jackson Heritage Festival on July 21 and 22.
Raffle Tickets are going well and this drawing will be at the Vintondale Homecoming on Labor day weekend with the drawing on Sunday, September 2 at 3 p.m. (Scroll down to the May report to see the list of prizes.)
The basket party will be held on September 16th at St. Nicholas Church Hall in Nanty Glo.
Memberships for 2007-08 are now coming in and the funds are being thankfully received and prudently used by the Society.

The Nant-Y-Glo Tri Area Museum and Historical Society is presenting the second in a series of puzzles featuring local historic scenes. This time the Society is offering Jackson Township's Eight-Sided Esso Station in Mundy's Corner. This station was located at the intersection of then Routes 219 and 22 at Mundy's Corner and in front of Luther's Restaurant. This should bring back memories to many from the area.
The cost of the puzzle is $25 and may be purchased at the Nanty Glo Library or orders cab be sent to NGTAMHS at 942 Roberts Street, Nanty Glo, PA 15943. Please add $5 for shipping and handling. Checks should be made out to NGTAMHS. Please allow three to four weeks for delivery.
Money made from the sale of the puzzles will go toward the establishing of our new home on Shoemaker Street (scroll down for more information).

ONLY
TWO PUZZLES LEFT!
Insurance Options: It was voted on and passed to buy insurance on our volunteers. This would cover all volunteers and also us, while working on the building or at different functions during the next year. Jim Toth will keep a log of all work done and this will be given to the insurance company each month. The number of volunteers and hours worked will determine our total premium for the year. The base premium is $175. We will try this and see if it will work with our limited finances.
Rich H. will contact Danny Hoover to have the furnace checked out and serviced. Rich McDowell will call for oil prices. Currently, we have one-quarter tank of oil. Most of the old stage has been removed and new lighting has been put in the basement for the food pantry.

Projects
include:
Three or four items for sale were discussed.
The Nant-Y-Glo Tri-Area Museum and Historical Society has acquired the building on Shoemaker Street that once housed the Blacklick Valley Community Center and still houses the Miners' Food Pantry. The building built in 1920-1921 was also known as the Grand Theatre, the Family theater, and then the Liberty Theater.
Members of the Historical Society, since its inception in 2000, have been looking for a building to house the growing collection of artifacts and to have a facility where the public can view exhibits.
Over the years several properties have been considered as well as the idea of a new building. When the Blacklick Valley Community Center building became available, the Society decided it was time to not only have a building of its own, but to take on the task of preserving a historic building in Nanty Glo.
The Society "bought" the building for one dollar and on June 26, 2006, and the board members of the Blacklick Valley Community Association, Inc., signed a resolution donating the Community Center building to the Historical Society.
The Building Committee, comprised of Jim Toth and Rich McDowell, has already taken preliminary steps to begin the first phase in the renovation of the building. Keller Engineers, Inc., has determined the building is in good overall condition and now the Society can proceed with plans to apply for funding. A major fund drive is underway to bring a vision of a museum to a reality.
(December 2004)
December 3, 2002
The Nant-Y-Glo Tri-Area Museum and Historical Society (NTAMHS) has released a long-awaited CD-ROM multimedia program dynamically recreating and illustrating aspects of Blacklick Valley's history, commerce, and daily life. Playable on Windows-operating-system personal computers equipped with CD drives, it is available now and can make an excellent holiday gift for anyone with roots in the Valley.
Self-paced interactive viewing of the dozens of topics dealt with on the CD is estimated by project director John Dropcho to take about three hours, but the time spent on a particular photo, poem, or historical account is entirely at the discretion of each viewer. The presentations, accompanied by music, are organized under the major topics "At Work," "Daily Life," "History," "Memorabilia," and "Then and Now," as shown in the title slide shown above. Under history, it includes photographs and brief notes on each of 57 casualties of World War II from Blacklick Valley, which were garnered from newspapers' coverage and are shown as slides, for example.
Specifically, "the CD contains approximately 545 old photographs, 30 informative essays on local topics," with original music for each item, all woven together to form the content of the CD, an NTAMHS promotional release says.
The CD is available for a $15 donation to the Nant-Y-Glo Tri-Area Museum and Historical Society, a nonprofit educational and tax-exempt entity established to preserve the area's history and historical artifacts and promote them through such projects. John Dropcho, a retired art instructor at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania whose background is in Nanty Glo, is one of the founders of the NTAMHS and its current vice president. Credits for contributions to the project list several dozen individuals.
The
CD is available at the Nanty Glo Public Library, 942 Roberts Street, Nanty Glo,
PA 15943, which is also the address of NTAMHS. Requests for mailed copies should
include an additional $2 for shipping and handling.

Report of meeting of December 6 2001
(Reported by Barbara Hakanen)
Nanty Glo, December 6, 2001—The meeting of the Nant-Y-Glo Tri-Area Museum and Historical Society on December 6, 2001, resulted in a decision being made about our newsletter being done twice a year, a spring edition and fall edition.
The CD being prepared about Nanty Glo on behalf of the Society is coming along nicely, but we do not yet know when it will be completed. Lots of work has gone into this, and John Dropcho is the one carrying most of the workload for this project.
We were pleased to accept a gift from Ann Louise (Little) Jensen, who taught school at the Wagner building for many years. She gave the Society her 1938 yearbook from Nanty Glo High School. This, she said, was the first year there was a yearbook. She also gave us every photo of the many class reunions held over the years. But perhaps the greatest gift she gave the Society was a large black Scrapbook she kept during the years of World War II. The Scrapbook contains poems, photos, and postcards she saved over this time period. She would cut out the many photos of the local men and women who went to fight that war and there are pages and pages of photos.
The Society has taken the book apart (and put it back together again) and photocopied the pictures. We have put them in alphabetical order, into a 3-ring binder that is now in the NTAMHS bookcase at the Nanty Glo Public Library. The Post Cards, most sent to her father, Elmer Little, have also been photocopied front and back and are also in the binder. We invite the public to stop in and take a look...
After the meeting we had a small Christmas party... BLH
Report of meeting of June 22, 2000
(Reported by Barbara Hakanen)
Nanty Glo, June 23, 2000—In the meeting last night we discussed mostly fund raising. We are considering sweatshirts/T-shirts, etc., with the Logo on. We have a great little shop here in town owned by O'Farrell's (located on Lloyd Street across from the Methodist Church). They do embroidery work (computers can do almost anything) and they are beautiful. Jennifer will be working up some colors for us. John Dropcho was absent (couldn't be helped) so he was not there when we were talking about the colors of the Logo and doesn't even know about it yet (being away for several days). The colors will not be like the one you have. I believe Jennifer will do a completely new one. We hope to be able to offer them soon but LOTS of details to be worked out.
We are also in the process of becoming incorporated.
Bill Martin gave us a great item in the Journal. Front page with the picture of the Logo... Great.
Report of meeting of May 25, 2000
Nanty Glo, May 26, 2000—Bylaws, membership, mission statements, accession papers, and tax forms were among the items considered at last night's meeting.
The eleven attendees included two new participants, Nancy Bracken Debiase and Dez Warzel, both of the Blacklick Township.
The NTAMHS logo was reported to be delayed a bit because of an accident involving John Dropcho, codirector and artist in charge of the project, who hopes to have it done by next meeting.
An organization email address has been set up at ngtamhs@Hotmail.com. The possibility of having Denise Duzsa Weber coming to speak to the group about her Vintondale history book was discussed but tabled on a report that she is in Europe.
Next meeting will be June 8, 7 p.m., at the Nanty Glo Public Library. All interested members of the community are welcome. By that meeting, codirector Barbara Hakanen reported, she and Donna Davis hope to have prepared a space in the upper floor of the Library for a “historical corner.”
Report of organizational meeting, May 11 2000
Nanty Glo, May 12, 2000—Twelve community members met last night at the Nanty Glo Public Library to formally organize a community museum and historical society.
Barbara Hakanen reported that those attending included John & Helena Dropcho, Donna Davis, Dennis Dixon, Theresa Golias, Rich Ondriezek, Greg O'Farrell, Bill Martin, Zelda Dugan, Bob Mulvehill, Rich Hakanen and herself. The name chosen for the group is The Nant-Y-Glo Tri-Area Museum and Historical Society. A Logo of an open mine entrance with farming on one side to represent Jackson Township and lumbering on the other for Blacklick Valley.
They decided that the names of Jackson Township and Blacklick Township will be on the Logo but not on the address, as it would be too long. John Dropcho is working on the logo
Officers chosen at the meeting are: codirectors, John Dropcho and Barbara Hakanen; secretary, Donna Davis; treasurer, Theresa Golias. The group agreed to meet biweekly until the forming process and paper work is mostly accomplished. The next meeting will be Thursday, May 25, at 7 p.m., at the Library, with all interested members of the community invited to participate.
They agreed to set up email accounts for the organization and its officers through Hotmail. The society web page will be added to the Nanty Glo Home Page Internet site, and its proprietor, Jon Kennedy, volunteered and was asked to set it up and maintain it. The Logo will be added to it as soon as it is completed.
The
society's mailing address will be:
Nant-Y-Glo
Tri-Area Museum & Historical Society
942
Roberts Street
Nanty
Glo, PA 15943
Mrs. Hakanen predicted the project "is going to be a long time coming, but how can you have anything unless you start toward the goal?" She said suggestions are welcome.
