Scott Weidler Makes Donation To Museum

Those of us affiliated with The E.O. Austin Home/Historical Society Museum believe that we have the proverbial "Crown Jewel" at One Town Square on Main Street.

We are not the only ones.

Not long ago a gentleman by the name of Scott Weidler toured our museum.  As he was leaving, he stated that we was retiring from Avery Dennison soon and instead of having a retirement party, he was going to direct Avery Dennison to make a donation to our museum in his name.

In today's mail was a check for $500.00

Thank you very much Mr. Weidler.  It is appreciated.

If anyone out there is looking for somewhere to make a donation for a tax write-off, please keep the E.O. Austin Home/Historical Society in mind.
