Timber Museum manager Linda Offutt has been cleaning and organizing the museum and hopes to have the building open seven days a week after May 1.

Forks High School junior Caleb Norstrom is doing his senior project on the history of the Timber Museum and will be working as a volunteer as part of his project. Board member Tom Rosmond brought up the idea of a website for the museum.

Other items of discussion included having Olympic Corrections Center inmates do more cleaning up of the grounds; they already have fixed some of the fencing on the property.

The Timber Museum always is in need of volunteers and new members. Membership is: $10 individual, $15 family, $25 organization and $50 business.
