June 12, 2002 <br />To: Neal Beets <br />Roseville City Manager <br />FROM: Roseville Historical Society <br />`4;`� i' � `: <br />t��- <br />._ - ,. , { <br />� -� - <br />� ,.- _ . <br />Now that a Community Center is being discussed again, we feel that the Roseville <br />Historical Society a�d its needs should be considered and acted on. <br />Our r:�embership is approximately 100 and growing. The average attendance is <br />approximately 45 per meeting. The room we had at the Arona Parks/Recreation building <br />was 960 square feet and was not adequate. The enclosed drawing shows additional needed <br />space and usage. <br />The reason for our existence is to promote Roseville, from remembering and preserving <br />our past, to anticipating and supporting the new growth of the future. We need space for <br />meetings and to display our artifacts which help bring Roseville's history alive. We are <br />enclosing information on other North Suburban Historical Societies current space and <br />financial support. <br />Visiting international dignitaries and leaders from other cities and states might be <br />interested in where we have been and our present position. Since history is a community <br />memory of the past, we many times, from it, get strength for the future. As a reminder, <br />when a new Community Center was discussed several years ago, a Historical Society room <br />was planned, not only to serve our needs, but also to serve the city in other official <br />instances. <br />Thank you for letting the Society inform you of our needs that could fit into any building <br />that you design. We also request that our Society have representation in the planning. We <br />can meet anytime. <br />Our web site address is http://mnrhs.tripod.com.
