My friend and fellow drinking/eating partner, Steve Sparks, is on the AV Museum and Historical Society Board and has been charged with the task of completing the AV High School Yearbook collection at the Museum in the Little Red Schoolhouse near the Elementary School. The collection begins with the first edition, from 1921, and is just 13 issues short of being complete, most of which are relatively recent. Here is the list of issues still needed: if anyone has a copy of any of these editions gathering dust somewhere and willing to part with it, please contact Steve at 895-2460 or at avcbulletin@gmail.com. Here’s the list of missing yearbooks: 1963, 1972, 1981, 1989, 1991, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2014. Your contribution will be much appreciated and provide an important addition to the Museum’s archives.

I have been reliably informed that the new restaurant in Philo (formerly Libby’s) hopes to open in late May, county bureaucracy permitting. So who knows? Sometime in June methinks. There are many daytime eating options in the Valley too, also extremely good. For that info and more refer to the new (pink) May issue of the AV Community Bulletin available throughout the Valley.
