PHOTO OF THE DAY: SIGN OF THE TIME
People driving or walking downtown in Menno will notice a new sign and fall decorations on the lot where the 40-foot by 80-foot Menno Museum Building will be constructed. Donna Waltner of Printed Impressions made the sign and Craig Schaeffer of C&H Construction installed the sign. The purpose of the sign is to keep people informed on the progress of fundraising for the new building.
As of Oct. 16, $12,462.68 has been raised from a Golden West grant, donations and fundraisers. This amount is almost halfway to meeting the $25,000 challenge from an anonymous donor. Once the $25,000 has been matched, there will be $75,000 for the new building. Donations can be mailed to Menno Museum 512 S. 5th St., Menno, SD 57045.
