NHCC is planning ahead
Vol 13, Issue 5
- The Board of Directors of National Historic Cheesemaking Center recently conducted a digital poll of the Board with the following results: As a non- profit educational organization, we need to at minimum, follow State of Wisconsin guidelines.
- Once we open reduced hours and days of operation will be considered.
- Cheesemaking Day will not occur in June. We possibly will hold it in the fall in conjunction with a 25th Anniversary celebration.
- We will install Sanitation Stations/Sneeze Guards, etc. A Credit Card reader, previously approved, will be installed for customer convenience.
- Visitors will be updated via social media—website, Facebook.
- We will consider a 25th Anniversary Celebration at Turner Hall (upstairs) with entertainment later this year. Plans are also underway to prepare a history booklet of NHCC’s first 25 years.
Director Donna’s Greeting, May 2020:
Although we could not open the doors at the National Historic Cheesemaking Center on May 1, and we could not meet in person, I want you to know that we want to stay connected “from afar.”
We are busy working on policies and procedures to ensure our volunteer staff and you, our visitors, are protected so we stay safe and healthy.
I am sure there will be a “new normal” for all of us but I am also sure the” spirit of traveling” will heal our morale. When the time is right, we hope to see you “face to face.”
– Dreaming & Planning, Donna
Stirring the kettle, With President Jim
The status of when we reopen the Center now lies with the powers that be. Once this crisis is past, you will hear about all the plans in Culture. This year is the 25th Anniversary of our opening of the facility. Lots of things have occurred in that time. With this issue we begin a monthly recalling of some of those events and some recently discovered musings by one of our founders. This all begins on page 6. Be sure to check it out. In addition NHCC will be featured in a June Dairy Month publication by our local news media—Monroe Times. Heady stuff, even in this difficult period. We all here at NHCC are itching to tell our to legions of visitors.
– Until that time, stay healthy, Jim
Locally Odyssey Brands donate to Monroe School District
Culture has heard of many companies across the state donating product for the epidemic situation. Locally Odyssey Brands donated Greek yogurt to School District of Monroe. The yogurt will be included in the breakfast and lunch sacks every week for the remainder of the school year and distributed to students while they are out of school during Covid-19.
