If you are looking for a worthwhile presentation for your club or organization, the WHS FRIENDS has a timely suggestion: an illustrated talk that melds together the holiday season, the beauty of fine antiques and an interesting chapter of American History.  It’s a captivating visit to the “Christmas Rooms of the Daughters of the American Revolution” in Washington D.C.  FRIENDS board member Debbie McArdle is Correspondent/Docent of the DAR and her lively lecture, with its visual catalog of the DAR’s historic toys and treasures, will surely please any audience.

Debbie’s talk about the DAR Rooms is one of several programs that she has prepared for presenting to groups interested in history.  Her fellow FRIENDS board member, Riene Wells, has also developed other historic programs with an appeal that combines facts and fun.

For details on all the programs from the growing inventory of the “FRIENDS Speakers Road Show”, visit friendswisconsinhistory.org, call Debbie McArdle at 815-575-1272 or e-mail Riene Wells at info@eagle-house.com.

The FRIENDS of the Wisconsin Historical Society has made a $10,000 donation to the Historic Preservation Web Initiative, an online resource being developed by the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS).  The WHS web initiative project is part of an entirely new Internet website for the historical society, constructed at a cost of $2.5 million that will be ready for use in the summer of 2012.  The new WHS site will enhance browsing and searching capabilities to make retrieving data from the encyclopedic website a simpler, more “user-friendly” process.

The WHS FRIENDS utilized the proceeds from last year’s successful “30th Star Benefit Antiques Auction” to make the donation.
