I am preparing for Yorktown Cemetery Walk, Oct. 2009 and
I need suggestions for people to be remembered who are buried in the Yorktown Cemetery. If you know of local families that may want to participate, please send me any contact information or pass the info on to them and give them my #'s.

Message from our president, Joan Johnson:
Greetings-Members and Friends:
There have been a lot of positive happenings in our Society lately:
1. The roofs over the Museum & Library have been completed (still some leaks to contend with)
2. Sterling WalMart donated $250.00 to us towards our on-going expenses.
3. The "Adopt-A-Grave" project for Memorial Day was a great success for a 1st time effort.
4. The Annual Memorial Day Cemetery Walk went very well (weather cooperated somewhat)
UPCOMING: Tampico Annual Festive (Homecoming Days) are fast approaching on June 26, 27 and 28. Historical Society is planning a "Haystack Dinner" on June 26 from 4 to 7 PM at the Community Building {plan to come enjoy something new and help out the organization} (also a 50/50 drawing will be held at that time) on June 27 we are having a Bake Sale - all members are asked to contribute baked goods and if unable to bake something, a $10.00 donation per member is requested.
5. This month's program on June 28 at 7 PM will be Dr. Darrell Erickson speaking on Whiteside County Doctors.
6. The Annual "Summer Picnic" will be 6 PM, August 25, at Tampico Community Building. This is always a FUN time and the program will be 'REMEMBERING THE TAMPICO CREAMERY". Everyone having ANY memories of the Creamery is asked to come join us for the evening. This is a "potluck dinner" and you are asked to bring a dish to pass and your own table service. Coffee & lemonade will be furnished. Please plan to join us.
7. Annual dues are now being collected. (Only $10.00 single and $15.00 family).
8. For more information on any of the above, please go to our fabulous website, maintained by Denise McLoughlin - www.tampicohistoricalsociety.com
Please remember that we are a small organization, dependent on donations and dues to keep our heads above water with ongoing expenses. Our monthy meetings are the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7 PM in the Museum, unless we have a special program. As a member, we appreciate your attendance and input.
We look forward to hearing from you. To send your dues and donations, please send to:
