Central Sierra Historical Society

Making the Society Go!
CSHS is pleased to acknowledge the generous contributions of Ed and Shirley Selleck, The Shaver Lake Lions Club, and Corinne and George Wallet. Funding from these individuals and organizations supports CSHS’ Museum Without Walls series of public programs and our general operations. Thank you also to Ed Harrison, PG&E and the Shaver Lake Lions Club for their donations to the Museum Building Fund. The Shaver Lake Fishing Club, High Sierra Black Pot Cookers, and Joanne Weirick’s Bluegrass Band made the 5th annual Black Pot Cook-off a sensational success. Thanks also to the McDonalds for their lakeside hospitality, and Ron and Marilyn Matteson for sharing their garden with us at A Sunday Afternoon at Marilyn’s Gardens. The Cislini Foundation made a generous grant to the CSHS Building Fund, and Walt and Judy Reinhardt have enabled the construction of the stunning main deck at the front of the Museum with a naming donation. SCE Forestry provided a much-needed fax machine (and saved our sanity!); Jamie Glenn is hard at work re-vamping the CSHS Web site; and Roger Coats kept our computers humming by helping us with electrical problems at the office. Kent Millar has donated a fire engine used at Big Creek and Huntington Lake, and Terry Shumate brought us a steamer trunk that has been a traveler’s companion for over a hundred years. To expedite the laborious process of transcribing oral histories, Carolyn Hackett purchased a Dictaphone for the Oral History Team. And Panagraph, Inc. has donated its services to transfer oral history recordings from VHS to the more stable DVD format.
