FALL 2015 EVENT
Sunday Nov. 1, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. , Adobe Building, 157 Moffett Boulevard
They say “a picture holds a thousand
words” and that “every object tells a
story.” At the Mountain View Historical
Association’s Fall event, we invite our
members to put those sayings into
practice! Ever since the MVHA was
founded in 1954, one of our most
popular programs has been a member
show-and-tell session.
Many of our members have artifacts,
memorabilia, old photos and stories
that connect us to earlier days, and
so from time to time, we set aside
a meeting when our members can
present and share their treasures. These
presentations often trigger memories
that inspire lively discussions, enhancing
the experience. It’s been two years since
our last show-and-tell program, and
we’re excited to bring it back!
An added bonus this time around:
We will be setting up a “Memento
Preservation Station” where MVHA
volunteers will be on hand to digitally
scan any Mountain View-related photos,
photographic slides or ephemera
(postcards, advertisements, business
cards, etc.) that you bring. These images
will then be added to our digital archives,
ensuring that future generations will have
access to them and allowing you to keep
the originals.
We will have a sign-up sheet at the event
and will try to accommodate as many
people as possible. Questions? Email us
at [email protected] or
call (650) 903-6890.
We hope to see you at the Adobe on
November 1st!
The success of this program is directly
dependent on YOU bringing something
to talk about and/or
show. Nothing is too
trivial or insignificant,
so don’t be shy!
