President’s Message,
Welcome new and renewing members of the SV24HA to a new year of exploration. Your interest encourages us to persevere for the Solomon Valley. In this issue you’ll find the first pieces of Call for Voices. I am moved by the insights into the theme of traveling together. They share passion and place.
At the Annual Meeting we were honored to present Vickie Mears of Beloit with the Faye Minium Spirit Award. Her extraordinary volunteer service to the community of Beloit reaches people of all ages. In accepting this award Vickie stressed that volunteers are the heart of the community, and that she is one of many! She urges others to volunteer.
We are continuing to work through the Strategic Doing Process, following up on commitments that will increase our effectiveness in bringing vitality to the valley. Actually getting out and about was deemed a priority. In February the board met in Glasco and in April we will gather in Hill City. Discovering fresh perspectives on our 24 towns will enable us to open new doors to adventures.
The Mitchell County Museum is featured in this issue. You’ll find many upcoming events noted. We especially hope to see you at Charlotte Hinger’s autograph party in Hill City on March 30 and at the Nicodemus Chautauqua May 25.
After a long winter, taking to the road sounds like a good idea. Hope we meet along the way.

President’s Message,
Please allow me a moment of reflection. The turning of the wheel of time – when the intentions for the year-ending slip away, and the possibilities for the future loom. That is what I feel as we work together to strengthen our 24 towns on Highway 24, encouraging them and weaving a Solomon Valley story to share.
There is more we could have done last year, there is more we will do in the coming year. The Alliance Board of Directors began the Strategic Doing Process for planning at an event on October 10, addressing our responsibilities for the future of the organization as we strive to meet the needs of our 24 towns on 24.
A progress report on the process will be presented at the Annual Membership Meeting, January 26, 2019. I hope you will be there to help us embrace a vision of experiences and actions that will attract visitors to our remarkable valley.
The Carnegie Research Library in Osborne is the museum featured in this issue of the Anthology. In addition to enumerating the extensive collection of resources, a current project by Family Search is described.
I hope to see you at the annual meeting on January 26. Best wishes for the holidays and the New Year.
