I would like to thank everyone who came out to the history of Malt-O-Meal presentation. It was the biggest presentation for a window display I have seen since I have been here. There was standing room only! I would also like to thank Donavon for giving a great presentation on the history of M-O-M. Next time we will do it in a bigger room! Here are some pictures from last night.

The Northfield Historical Society will be among 30 organizations at the Northfield Volunteer Festival. The festival is a way for non-profit organizations to showcase themselves to prospective volunteers. The Northfield Historical Society will be showcasing many opportunities for people to volunteer such as: inventory, preservation, and data entry of collections, weblog updates, exhibit design, oral history video taping and interviewing, Northfield History Online Timeline development, graphic design for special events and programs, media relations and publicity, special event development and support, market research, retail store and admissions, video editing, and public school outreach. We will be handing out pamphlets for you to take home describing all the volunteer opportunities at NHS.
