Quartzsite Museum Bake Sale The Quartzsite Historical Society is sponsoring a bake sale immediately after the Hi Jolly Parade on Janu- ary 6. Our talented members will be baking up a variety of goodies, which will be for sale at the end of the parade at the Community Cen- ter. Goodies will include gluten free items as well as homemade cook- ies and cakes. This is a fundraiser for the Museum. Please stop by and check us out! The Museum has some new dis- plays this year, including the 47- arm cactus skeleton and an ornate kerosene lamp. Is anyone out there that was either married by Judge Hagley or knows someone who was? We continue to seek their sto- ries and have the Judge's Marriage Records on display. Museum updates Trivia Question of the week: How deep was the original Tyson's well? The answer might surprise you! For the answer stop by the Museum (no phone calls please). Does anyone have a couple of old military blankets they are willing to donate to use in our up-coming bunkhouse exhibit? Operating a Museum is an endless job, with our volunteers cleaning exhibits, inventorying our prop- erty, doing computer input of our records, doing general offi ce work, and special projects, acting as do- cents greeting the public and con- ducting tours, researching addition- al information regarding Quartzsite and generally maintaining the property. One project for this year is spraying the large cactus skeleton with preservative. Anyone inter- ested in helping with our projects is encouraged to contact us. Even a few hours a week makes a big differ- ence! Snowbirds welcome! The Quartzsite Historical Society monthly meeting is on January 3 at 2 pm at the Library. Membership is $10 per person and benefi ts include receiving e-mails about our month- ly fi eld trips and free admission to the fi eld trips. Come join us!

When we initially decorated 18 years ago it was because we loved Christmas. Now it's because we love all of you and Quartzite is our winter home. God bless all of you and we hope our Christmas yard helped each of you laugh, smile and love life even more. Happy New Year and look for the lights again next year! Thank you, John and Celia Schroeder Paul leads worship on the keyboard, playing a variety of original and well-known songs, with the beautiful sound of the trumpet interspersed throughout. Paul plays guitar with a retro '60's sound and plays the Ukulele with a relaxing Hawaiian sound. He has also been known to play the accordion. The lively Cajun feel of these songs is a good combination for everyone, giving older Christians a familiar feel and giving younger people music they find engaging. Cindy accompanies Paul on the bass guitar. The Traveling Talleys Paul and Cindy January 7 10:30AM and 6:30PM January 8 – January 12 6:30PM Quartzsite First Assembly of God Church 665 W.
