Director reports $11,387 in May retail sales; museum outlines summer events
Summary
The societys director reported May retail sales of $11,387, year-to-date retail revenue near $49,000, and attendance of 8,752 (Jan—May); multiple Route 66-related events and temporary exhibits were announced and a restricted fund balance of $4,411 was reported.
The societys director reported a strong May: retail sales were $11,387 and fiscal-year retail revenue is about $49,000 to date. Year-to-date attendance (January—May) was 8,752, averaging roughly 100 visitors per day, the director said.
"May was a phenomenal month for us," the director said, and listed upcoming events including a visit by Joe Barr, a hot rod tour passing through (with thousands of cars expected along Route 66), a citywide cleanup day, and the Route 66 Caravan on June 22. The director said quilts will be exhibited June 22 through Sept. 15 and a "Women of Route 66" exhibit is scheduled Sept. 16—17.
The director also reported that the society had received donations for a memorial to Sue Reed; those checks were written to the historical society and should be added to the societys budget. She reported the restricted fund balance is $4,411. In the transcript a donation amount was described as "a 125"; the transcript does not specify whether that figure represents dollars or a count, and that item should be verified.
The director said exhibit turnover and additional staffing would likely wait until October unless the board of aldermen approves more labor for seven-day operation.
