New Quartzsite map now available The Quartzsite Business Chamber of Commerce's new Business Locator map is available for sale at many of the stores around town as well as the Business Chamber offi ce and the offi ce of the Quartzsite Area Chamber and Tourism. This map is updated from the last one that Paul Winer did in 2010, with over 60 changes that had to be made and a new grid of the town drawn to get them all in! It took Paul over 100 hours to do the work, drawing all the little buildings and lettering all the names. It was a huge task, but when he got it done, it turned out to be the best one he had done. This map is a souvenir edition for the 150th birthday of Quartzsite, and the Business Chamber ordered 7000 of them to be sure to have enough for this winter season. People have been asking for a new one for many years, and now it is coming and it sure looks awesome!! Special thanks to Paul Winer for doing such a great job for our Chamber! Once the maps are delivered, the advertis- ers who get the 50 free maps for putting out the money for the edge of the map to pay for the printing will be able to come to the Chamber offi ce and pick them up. Retail sales will also be available, and any member can get them to sell at wholesale prices. The maps will sell for $2.00 each and are a little bit wider and taller than the last ones to make it easier to read and to get all the extra info in. Be sure to pick up this unique one-of-a-kind Quartzsite map as a souvenir for yourself or to give to a friend or family member to show them our town--maybe they will want to visit us too!!! The Quartzsite Museum is happy to intro- duce our new resident docents, Richard and Patricia Mansell. The Mansells started visit- ing Quartzsite in 1999 and volunteered at the Museum when they visited. Richard retired from the US Postal Service and Patricia was a Code Enforcement Offi cer in Lake County, California. They now have a permanent home in Sequim, Washington. The Mansells came over from Lancaster, California where they were liv- ing, to Quartzsite for a day out of curiosity. The next year they brought their trailer, and have been coming here ever since. They describe themselves as collectors of orphaned cars. Cars whose manufacturer has gone out of business. Their collection includes Crossley (one they found in Quartzsite), Corvairs and a Crofton (miniature Jeep). Richard enjoys prospecting and is a member of the Prospector's Club here and Patricia is an avid Bingo player. In prepara- tion for their new assignment they read several of the books written about the area and have become knowledgeable about the history here. The Mansells love to share the artifacts and information in the Museum, and have found that they learn something new every day from the visitors. "We have the fi nest exhibits that people will give us. There is no money to buy ar- tifacts, so we have an eclectic collection, thanks to the generosity of many people, including sev- eral pioneer families." "Inside the cocoon shell of the Museum are fascinating artifacts that our visitors can often relate to". Quartzsite Museum welcomes new docents SEE MUSEUM PAGE 11 175 W.
