Historic Photos and Information

As the fabulous Alabama Main Street directors that you are, I am sure you all know about the above website. It is through the Library of Congress and is an amazing resource for historic photos and historic information. The photo to the left is of a home that is no longer in our historic downtown and I would have never known what it looked like had I not had this resource.

Get on and take a look at the photos from you city! I think you will be surprised at what they have!

FUNDRAISER IDEAS

What events have been money-makers for your organization? I have a few ideas for fundraisers, but would love to hear from other groups.

Insurance

Does your group carry D/O insurance along with a general liability policy? I have noticed a lot of discussion on the NMS listserve about this lately.
