There will be a meeting to reorganize both the Coulee Pioneer Museum and Them Dam Writers at 1:30 p.m., Monday, March 5, at the art room on Federal Avenue, above the Grand Coulee Dam Senior Center.

Birdie Hensley, who started the museum in 2011, said this week that she would like to develop an active museum board and be able to systematically open the Electric City facility one or two days a week.

The building, loaned to the museum by owner A. J. Gerard, holds documents and displays collected and developed by Hensley and a few others.

Hensley said interested parties are needed to still collect materials and write about the museum displays.

That’s where Them Dam Writers could come in as partners with the museum, Hensley stated. The writer group has been inactive, and the March 5 meeting is an effort to get them involved in the museum activities, Hensley stated.

Anyone interested in either or both groups should come to the meeting, Hensley added.
