VISION 2005
Message from the New Director (Cont'd)
Second - community awareness must be increased. This will happen by: an active press release program, re-establishing school programs, bringing in new & changing exhibits and establishing a working relationship with members of the County as well as the region and the State. I have already had over 20 meetings with people in the community. I am struck by the tremendous support voiced by all.

Our third and fourth objectives are related. We need another location and the new location must be at least two times the size of our present facility.

Number five on the list of objectives is to make the Jim Bob Tinsley Museum a part of a county museum to gather and exhibit the heritage and culture of this history rich area. We lose a little more of this precious heritage with each passing day. We will ensure that the Jim Bob Tinsley Museum & Research Center lives on for many years to come by combining the two museums and by dedicating a room or a wing to the Jim Bob Tinsley Museum. The overwhelming positive reaction of the community members fuels my desire to push forward.
