. . . 9 9 8 , 9 9 9 , 1 0 0 0 ! On an otherwise ordinary day in March, and unbeknownst to them, docents greeted our 1000th visitor of the month to the Museum creating a new record! The final March count was 1080 guests, a full 197 visitors over our next highest monthly total.

Many of the 1000+ visi-tors happened to be students. From the local Montessori School students (p.6) to the university Spring Breakers (photo below right), youthful groups found us.

Just beyond our doors, the Flagler Beach Pier is our city’s most iconic landmark. Historically, many community events in decades past have taken place on the Pier although more recently those have been

His assist fit in nicely with Catherine’s final words, “It takes a village!” Teri agreed, stating, “This is my favorite event of the year, because

it allows me to thank all of you, our docents and volunteers, without whom the Museum would not be such a success.” She then acknowl-edged former City Commissioner John Feind for his many years on the board and the audit committee; newcomer Paul Tonini, serving as bookkeeper; Sue Norton the 2nd year webmaster; and Stewart Selden who is in his 4th year of digitalizing the museum archives.

Many heartfelt thanks were expressed to the Museum’s annual Gala Committee for their tireless dedication to making the annual costume gala fundraiser such a great success and fabulous fun. Honored were committee members extraordinaire Kim Carney, Carol Fisher and her staff, Beth Mount, Lauren Watkins, Sandra Siepietoski, Cindy Miller, Karen Young, Linda Jones, Jason Ganser, and Bev Zemlock.

Sometimes forgotten as volunteers are the Museum Board Direc-tors. In addition to Catherine, Rob, Teri, Kelli, and Linda, in attendance were 2nd V.P. Kathy Feind, Secretary Linda Jones, Cindy Dalecki, Charles Helm, Cindy Miller, Beth Mount and Ed Moore. Unable to attend but greatly appreciated are Mary Ann Ruzecki, Lea Stokes,Lauren Wat-kins and Pat MacAllister

And saving the “best for last,” the Mu-seum’s 28 fabulous and dedicated docents were celebrated! These are the folks who gave a warm Museum wel-come to 8,160 visitors in 2013.

Each of these vol-unteers relayed a hu-morous or heartwarm-ing story from their past year of service. Honored were Mary Calkins, Mary Ann Clark, Rob Creal, LJ & Dick Dunham, David Eichenberg, Bill Grady, Sally Horvath, Dick Hull, Linda & Elizabeth Jones, Pam Jones, Connie & Ed Kormanyos, Shirlee Lepson, Jan & Tom McKinney, Pat & Hal Mesnard, Chris Milnes, Ed Moore, Alita Peddle, Lorraine Ruhl, Carol Schneider, Sandra Siepietoski, Catherine Wilson, Karen Young and Bev Zemlock.

Along with other volunteers, attendees collectively provided over 4000 volunteer hours in 2013, which provided an amazing sav-ings in what would be $84,000 salaried hours! Soon after the lovely afternoon gathering had concluded, Teri shared these thoughts, “The only downside to this event is that with so much help, we worry about leaving someone out. Just off the top of my head, I realize I should have mentioned Tom Hury for leading the annual audit each year and our new student intern Heather Crane. I always encourage people to call me if they, or someone they know, has been forgotten. We’ll give them their own feature in the next newsletter!”

A lovely spring day bloomed brightly on April 7th, for the Museum’s Annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. Docents and dignitaries gathered in Blue’s Antique Room at the Topaz Motel for a delicious luncheon hosted by Blue owner Kelli O’Reilly. As our newest board member, she has immediately displayed her willingness to roll up her sleeves and get right to work! (See opposite page for more about Kelli.)

On hand to applaud the volunteers were Flagler Beach Mayor Linda Provencher and City Manager Bruce Campbell, plus City Com-missioners Jane Mealy and Kim Carney. Director Teri Pruden pointed out that Linda also serves as the City Liaison to the Museum board, that Jane was a long time board secretary and that Kim has been co-chair of the annual costume gala for numerous years. She is also spearheading the newest Museum fundraiser: Jazz, Cheese & “Cheers!” (For more info, see opposite page.) Teri also asked Bruce to take her heartfelt thanks back to his staff, whom she said “always step up to help -- competently and enthusiastically whenever a request is made.”

Each year at the luncheon, a new aspect of volunteerism is highlighted. In 2013, the docents who had served the longest were honored. This year, Flagler Volunteer Services Director Suzy Gamblain arrived with President’s Volunteer Service Awards for those who met the national criteria. (Number of 2013 hours served follow each name.)

Silver Awards went to LJ Dunham (264) and Linda Jones (313). Bronze Awards went to Sally Horvath (102), Ed Moore (110), Bill Grady (156), Mary Calkins (128), Carol Schneider (116), Tom McKinney (219) and 1st Vice President Rob Creal (246). Lifetime Achievement letters from President Barack Obama were awarded to Museum Founder/President Catherine Wilson (4,224 hours) and Director Teri Pruden, (8,667 hours).

While accepting her award, Catherine reminded the group that everything accomplished was due to their efforts, and those of so many unsung heroes not in the room. As she spoke a story was cir-culating about how Blue hostess’ Crystal Haines’ father Bill Willis had been called upon the night before to help prepare for the luncheon.

Besides being owner of the well known Flagler Beach restaurant BLUE at the Topaz for over a decade, Kelli has a very diverse background of promotional expertise and community involvement. We at the museum are very excited to welcome Kelli to our Board of Directors, and look forward to benefitting from her many experiences.

Born and raised in Long Island, Kelli has lived in Flagler County for over 12 years, and prior to that, resided in Los Angeles for 4 years. She worked as Senior Communications Officer from 1998-2001 at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation where she developed public relations strategy, wrote press releases and scientific updates, and coordinated press conferences including a 1999 event with First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Kelli has expertise in two areas that the Museum staff puts a lot of effort into: Special Events and Publicity. She was an event coordinator of many high profile fundraising programs including celebrity-run carnivals, golf tournaments, and black tie dinners. Kelli also worked as an Associate Producer/Marketing & Publicity Director. She coordinated all logistical elements of several live pay-per-view shows, and has also been responsible for all aspects of marketing and publicity including creating and writing national advertising campaigns. Her employment included a stint for a PR company and work at Conde Nast Publications as an as-sistant editor. Kelli was a 1989 graduate of St. John’s University in NYC with a degree in journalism.

Welcome Kelli O’Reilly to the FBHM Board of Directors!

Charmingly located in quaint Flagler Beach overlooking the tranquil ocean, Blue at the Topaz offers creative food from creative chefs. It is consistently fine dining

at an affordable price. Since opening the doors in 2002, Blue has grown into one of Flagler Beach’s most talked about restaurants, for both its menu and the fabulous view at 1224 South Oceanshore Blvd.

Dining at the award-winning Blue is recommended for celebrating a special day or everyday. After you’ve dined at Blue, you’ll be leaving and planning your next visit all at the same time.

The friendly service, fabulous food, and unique surroundings will have you coming back again and again…. Because at Blue, everyone’s a local!

Now home to the Flagler Beach Montessori School, the old Wick-line’s walls and halls have witnessed nearly 90 years of education since the building’s 1925 debut as the Flagler Beach School. Often referred to today as simply “The Wickline,” the South Daytona Avenue school site and park name honors dedicated public servant George E. Wickline whose combined service as Flagler County Commis-sioner and Flagler Beach Mayor and Commissioner totaled 34 years.

He also helped save the landmark from private ownership in its later years, added Wickline’s daughter and Museum president Catherine Wilson, who writes of the school’s early days in her book “A New Beginning. “It was just so nice to have a small school where everybody knew each other,” shared Wilson, whose daughters, JoAnne Hebb and Barbara Revels were students there in the 1950s.

Barbara (photo below: second row, far left) reminisced about her days at the school noting that Becky Thomas, Kenneth Whit-ney, Rosemary “Rosie” Tidwell, Susan “Suzie” Peterson, Frank

Fleurie and Ann Meekins are among those still making Flagler County their home. Barbara has fond memories of attending the school where she made what were to be lifelong friends.

Many thanks go out to Suzie (photo above: third row, center) who emailed the Museum this 1964 photo of the 6th grade gradu-ation. She remembers fondly her 2nd grade teacher Ms. Suzanne Bourne (a museum founding member!) who let her have a birthday party during class. Suzie said that the students would sit on the high wall on the south side of the building, and that misbehaving students had to sit on a rock during recess as punishment. She remembers Mr. Fennell (photo: far left) bringing in a TV to their 6th grade classroom so they could watch President Kennedy’s funeral.

Barbara said that, unlike today, the principal, Mr. Fennell also taught classes at the school. She recalled him as a very tall man and a very good principal and teacher for about ten years. She said he was also “famous” for his sneezes, which were so loud that they actually rattled the windows in the building, so everyone in all the classrooms knew when he had sneezed. Fifty years later, we hope

to hear from more of the students who attended the Flagler Beach School.

In a timely coincidence, a recent visitor to the Museum was Ms. Theo (Smith) Dodge, (photo right of her 98th birthday.) Ms. Dodge taught 3rd and 4th grade at the Flagler Beach School in the early 1950s before leaving to go to Palatka. Born in Putnam County, she graduated from Gainesville High School and then the University of Florida.

Ms. Theo‘s teaching career includ-ed several elementary schools in Central Florida, as well as a stint as the Assistant Principal at Larken High School. She is an avid reader and an accomplished

p a i n t e r , who has won many awards for her artwork. At last count, Ms. Theo has 47 paintings in her house of landscapes and birds. Her paintings also hang in several professional offices in Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville and the Palatka Library. Ms. Theo’s visit in-cluded a look at the Wickline school desk and lectern on display at the Museum.

For more information about “The Wickline” see the Autumn 2008 newslet-ter on our website: flaglerbeachmuseum.com. Also watch this space in the next issue for a feature on the Montessori School students who recently visited the Museum (photo below.) Their teachers and classes continue the Flagler Beach friendly small town educational tradition.

Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins in the Com-mand Module did just that in July of 1969. At the behest of Palm Coast Astronomy Club president Fred Pell-mann, the Museum’s 1969 photo of the three astronauts who crewed the Apollo 11 mission, was displayed prominently during Cowart’s speech.

A popular piece in the Space Age display at the Museum, the photo was donated to us by the Flagler Woman’s Club. In addition to multiple NASA photos and memorabilia, the exhibit includes the City of Flagler Beach flag designed by Rosmarie Price, Colleen Lee, Alice Baker and Sandra Bolser which traveled on the Space Shuttle Endeavor on its flight to the International Space Station in December 2001.

Turning from landing a man on the moon to planet Earth, Karen Young also attended the annual Earth Day celebration at Washington Oaks in April. With the help of Linda Jones, Connie Kormanyos and Kathy Tiller, the museum tent was erected and their tables included photo displays, membership information, and historiy-related gift shop items.

If your organization has an event at which you would like museum representation, please call Karen at (386) 517-2025.

Karen Young and other Museum representatives have been on the move this month. From Earth Day to outer space, they reached out to the local community to share a little taste of our Museum displays.

This year the Friends of the Flagler County Library encouraged residents to read the book “Killing Kennedy” by Bill O’Reilly for the annual “Flagler Reads Together” program. Friends president

Terry Jones arranged for Jon Cowart from NASA’s Community Outreach Program, to speak of President Kennedy’s challenge to his country and Congress on May 25, 1961. The speech included these words : “First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and return-ing him safely to the Earth.”

The Flagler Beach Historical Museum thanks the County Commission and the Flagler County Tourist Development Council for their grant awards that help us fund operating expenses, promotion, and much more!
