If so, you or your board might quickly try to get them to visit the building and talk about strategies. Grants? Fund-raising? Annual budgeting for upgrades and repairs (which anyone who owns a building should do). Also, when's the election? I see Connie Henderson running for county commission on a platform of "responsible budgeting to sustain our county's most precious resources." Or something like that. :-)Nancy/BLissed-Out Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223278142557533175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-5068517967131987262012-09-23T12:23:19.583-05:002012-09-23T12:23:19.583-05:00Sadly, that is the attitude of too many people tow...Sadly, that is the attitude of too many people toward our own history...just forget it...let it burn!

With my late mother's blindness, I am particularly aware of how the majority of people like to ignore trip hazards and handicap accessibility. I can't count how many times I've heard business owners say that "blind people don't visit museums!"<br />Secondly, John was in Codes Enforcement for 20 years. The City was adamant about him enforcing building codes everywhere EXCEPT within their own facilities. As if the well-being and health of its own employees was not important.<br />I would think after all the hard work you have done collecting and displaying historical artifacts and the fact that Far Guy risks his life to save buildings and people from burning buildings, that the guy's comment in "jest" is particularly offensive. There is NOTHING funny about any of this. I will be glad when you can close the door!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
