<br />. <br /> <br /> <br />Anoka County Historical Society <br /> <br />5 November 2002 <br /> <br />Andover <br /> <br />City of Centerville <br />%Mary Capra <br />1880 Main Street <br />Centerville, MN 55038-9794 <br /> <br />SERVING: <br /> <br />Anoka <br /> <br />Dear Council Members, <br /> <br />Bethel <br /> <br />Bums <br /> <br />The Holiday Season is a special time for everyone and we at the <br />Anoka County Historical Society are no exception. Each year, we ask a <br />different community to donate a special ornament to add to our collection. <br />This is a take-off on the idea of the "National Christmas Tree' that each state <br />in turn provides to Washington DC. We ask a different community in Anoka <br />County each year for an ornament rather than a tree. The ornament is <br />always presented during a County Holiday Celebration with city and county <br />dignitaries, and Historical Society Board members. It has been a tremendous <br />success for each of the communities who have participated as well as for the <br />Historical Society. <br />We invite the City of Centerville to provide this year's ornament. The <br />ornament should depict something from the community, the name of the <br />community, and the year it is presented. We have a variety of kinds of <br />ornaments in this collection, everything from a tiny needlepoint pillow <br />depicting the Lincoln Funeral Car in Columbia Heights to a loon floating on a <br />stained glass "Ham Lake', to birch bark from the Linwood fire. The variety is <br />part of the charm of this collection and we look forward to what might be next! <br />We are honored to invite the City of Centerville to provide the 2002 <br />ornament at our History Center at 2135 Third Avenue North in the county <br />seat of Anoka. The presentation will be on Saturday, December 7, 2002, at <br />1:00 p.m. You are invited to tour and enjoy our new facility following the <br />presentation. We encourage your City Council and community members to <br />join us for this special event and the kick off the holiday season at the Anoka <br />County History Center. <br />Please call the ACHS offices at 763-421-0600 to talk with us further <br />about this project and to confirm your participation. <br />We look forward to working with the City of Centerville on what we are <br />sure will be a special holiday ornament. <br /> <br />Blaine <br /> <br />Centerville <br /> <br />Circle Pines <br /> <br />Columbia <br />n eights <br /> <br />Columbus <br /> <br />Coon Rapids <br /> <br />East Bethel <br /> <br />Fridley <br /> <br />Ham Lake <br /> <br />Hilltop <br /> <br />Lexington <br /> <br />Lino Lakes <br /> <br />Linwood <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Ramsey <br /> <br />Bonnie McDonald <br />Executive Director, ACHS <br /> <br />'\ 1" '\ ~' '" <br />" ,-', ,.
