UPDATE: We are still in the process of moving. There is SOOOO much to pack, move and unpack. We are working with Samuel Wood Historical Society (Museum) on this fundraiser for the building that we will be located in. Here is the information for the fundraiser.

"GIFT CARD SURVIVOR" - all proceeds will go to Samuel Wood Historical Society! Tentative start date September 1, 2025
Entry fee donation is - $10. plus a $20. gift card (i.e. McDonald's, Winners, etc.) If you wish to enter, please let me know and we can make arrangements to meet, drop off, or you can etransfer $30. and I will pick up the gift card for you.
Your name goes in the draw once for each entry, but feel free to enter as many times as you wish!
Each day, 8 people will be eliminated. Once eliminated, you do have the option (ONLY ONE TIME) to pay $5. and have your name put back in the draw. You can pay the $5. upfront, if you wish, and be reimbursed if it's not needed.
Once we start, I will post a video each night showing the names as they are drawn out. There will be a first, second, and third place winner. The amount of the prizes depends on the number of entries. When there are 3 names left, those will be the winners... the first of the remaining 3 drawn out will be the 3rd place winner, the second of the remaining 3 drawn out will be the second place winner, and the third of the remaining 3 drawn out will be the first place winner.
E-transfer is society@shelburnecountyarchvies.ca

We would like to inform you that, due to circumstances beyond our control, we are currently in the process of relocating to the Samuel Wood Museum in Woods Harbour. We appreciate your patience during this transition.

While the new location may be somewhat less convenient than our current one, we are pleased to announce that this will be our first ground-floor, wheelchair-accessible facility. As we are still in the packing process, we will be closed until further notice.

Once we are fully moved and operational, we will provide an updated phone number and address. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and support during this significant undertaking.

As you can see below we have been busy but we have much, much more to pack!
