Adjacent to the Waverley C@P site is an old church that has been turned into a local museum. This building has been in the community since the 1800’s and is an important symbol of the Village’s rich history. At this point the museum runs off of the time and efforts of local volunteers and has been using mostly traditional ways of receiving funding. These methods (like donations, yard sales etc) worked in the past but the expenses have been going up and they decided it was time to try something new.
This year they decided to try hosting a yard sale once again by taking in donations and having a sale at the museum. In efforts to raise more money for the museum, myself and the museum volunteers decided to sell the more valuable items online via. Kijiji. I consider this my success story of the week because of the mix of new technology and history. It was nice to see the volunteers who are seniors will little computer experience willing to try something new in effort to preserve history.
