Description of Organization:
Mary Chris Ozbirn is the Organizer and archivist at the archives. Since the center is fairly new it is a struggle to get money for supplies, books and genealogy materials. They are dependant on small fun raisers, donations with all volunteers, including Chris, who give their time and small gifts to the archives. They were fortunate to be given an old county health department building which the members renovated themselves. People come from all over the U S to search the few records and materials we have collected. We owe all our success to Chris and her hard work. She even does the janitorial work after hours and weekends. Motto: Seeking the Past to Secure the the Future
