From The Director
Since the last issue
The Annual Fund Drive brought in $ 10,000 from 102 donors. The letter appeal which began December
2005 and ran through January 2006 was the best in five years. With Beloiters giving to so many causes in the
past year this is an impressive showing. We thank you all
An Evening at Lincoln Center with the all-woman a cappella ensemble from Madison performed for
membership and guests this past 10 Febmary. The group calls themselves Tangled Up in Blue. The meal and
entertaimnent of the night were well received. The event attracted 60 people and the Society made a'.nodeSl
profit.
Quilting classes are being taught by Bobbie Fiske once again at Lincoln Center. Classes started on tile -:t. th of February and
run through th~ month of March. They are held on Saturdays hom 9 3.tn. - 4 p.tn. As \\jth past years tilese classes are very
popular and we thank Bobbie for making them so.
Coming Up
Jane Threinen will present a program at this year' s Volunteer Recognition Brunch 20 Ap,il. This i: tile lime when we thank
all our volunteers for helping us take care of the Historical Society. It ' s an arulUal event and il will be catered so please mark your
calendars and join us for lively conversation, an enlightening program and good cheer.
On 19 May Chad Lewis of Eau Claire will present an informative slide program based on his book entitled Wisconsin Road
Guide to Haunted Locations. His show concentrates on tile most haunted places in Wisconsin. Please join us for this Spring
Program and a delicious buffet 'vvhich is served at 6:00 p.m. Cost is $30 for members and $35 for non members .

The Society pays its respects to the memory ofBob SoLem who passed away March 3rd. Bob spearheaded the
drive to renovate the annex of the old Lincoln Junior High School and build Lincoln Center. Hisfinancial
contributions and vision moved the Society forward, and gave it the visibility it needed. Today our facility attracts
thousands ofvisitors annually. We tip our hat to the memory ofBob.
PaulK. Kerr
A reminder to everyone that the Beloit Historical Society is a repository for Beloit History. If you have objects, letters, diaries, photos, documents, clothing, etc., that pertain to Beloit history or someone from Beloit, please keep us in mind as a permanent home for these items. Sponsor-A-Day
Why not consider sponsoring a day at
Lincoln Center? By contributing the
average cost of daily operations at the
Society ($300), you can pick a day to
commemorate a special event or the
memory of someone. Recognition of
the contribution then is published in the
Beloit Daily News and Stateline
Shopping News.

Cub Food Receipts
Our last batch of receipts brought in $53.1 7. For each Cub Foods receipt submitted
the Society receives 1% of the total. Thanks to everyone who participates in saving
the receipts and thank you Charlie Jones for volunteering your time totaling them each
quarter. Please keep saving receipts, and be sure to get them in before the end of the
quarter. Every Penny Helps I!
Charlie wants us to pass on that the date for the quarters that he processes Cub Food
receipts has changed. Corporate Cub is using the following periods for their program :

Loretta's Volunteer News Attention: Docents (Tour Guides) Hanchett-Bartlett Homestead Tours The elementary school tour season is approaching quickly. Dates have already been scheduled for third
and fourth grade students to visit the Hanchett-Bartlett Homestead. The dates listed below have been
scheduled by the School District of Beloit. All other tour information is still in the works and will be
available to docents before the first scheduled tour.
The Society relies on docents to provide the children in our community an opportunity to experience life
as a pioneer child. Docents help vi sitors understand and interpret what they experience at the Homestead . For
just a few hours a day they donate their time by sharing their interests in history and teaching people the
importance of keeping our city' s heritage alive. Volunteers choose to work at their convenience! Training
and a Docent Manual is provided for those interested.
If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a docent please fill out the
form below and mail it to Lincoln Center, 845 Hackett St., Beloit, WI.
(Attention: Loretta Hatch.) Please spread the word!!

Beloit Historical Society's Spring Dinner & Program Friday, May 19 Lincoln Center 6:00 p.m. WISCONSIN'S HAUNTED LOCATIONS By Chad Lewis Chad Lewis, co-author of The Wisconsin Road Guide to Haunted
Locations has put together a presentation of the Most Haunted Places in
Wisconsin to present to the Beloit Historical Society on May 19th. This
presentation will take the audience on a ghostly journey to some of the most haunted places in Wisconsin.
It will cover the entire state of Wisconsin from the wandering highway ghosts of the North Woods to
haunted B & B 's in Milwaukee. From phantom creatures prowling the fo rests to graveyard apparitions
located in your own backyard, no place is without its own haunting. Complete with photos, case history,
eyewitness accounts, ghost lore, and directions, Lewis 's presentation .e ncourages you to visit these places
for your own ghost story. To read more on Lewis, visit his website at www.unexplainedresearch.com.
Watch for invitations to be mailed in April!
