People walking, living or driving in the neighborhood of the Museum: lately we are noticing acts of (minor) vandalism and also attempts to enter the building. Regretfully the camera captured lots of dog walkers and people taking a leisurely stroll, but of course not the people who are doing this.
Please let Ralph and Eugenia (613-475-0379) or the OPP (613-475-1313) know when you see someone or a group that seems to be up to trouble.

If you have teens, they are welcome to visit and/or help Ralph & Eugenia at MJM anytime, but if they want to hang out with their friends when Ralph isn't around, please give Ralph a call at 613-475-0379.

Hello Everyone,

Although it looks more like April than December, Christmas is almost here and we can be reminded of that by viewing the spectacularly-lighted engine #2534 every evening.

The Friends of Memory Junction Museum has accomplished at lot this year, our first in existence, and all of the kudos go to those to helped at the open house fundraiser, our work weekend and all of the other little projects that were completed. The overwhelming donations of time, effort and money on short notice show a real small-town spirit that makes Brighton a fantastic place to live.

As chair, I hope that we can regroup in April and prepare for another season of giving Ralph and Eugenia a hand. One of my hopes is that we can be a little more organized and fully-utilize our wide range of talented volunteers.

Meanwhile, we have another Canuck winter to get through and I encourage everyone to get out and enjoy every opportunity we have in our beautiful area.

On behalf of Anja, Drew and Ryan, and of course Ralph and Eugenia,

Merry Christmas. Enjoy the season in your own way.
Kerry Boehme, Chair.

Last night Brad Denoon, photographer, visited Memory Junction Museum and shot fantastic pictures of the engine lit up!
Thanks Brad for your time and generosity.
Starting tonight and for the rest of the Christmas Season the engine will be lit up from dusk to app. 10pm .
A reminder, please enjoy the lights from afar, do not touch the engine or lights.
People that would like to donate to help out with the cost of the electricity and to replace broken bulbs, can mail the donation to PO Box 294, Brighton, Ontario K0K 1H0 or drop it of at Ralph and Eugenia's!
Hope you all have a great Christmas Season!

Hanging Christmas Lights at Memory Junction Museum!

First day of Work Weekend at MJM, saw over 30 volunteers cleaning, weeding, fixing, talking, laughing & learning! Tomorrow is another day and because of the sun, we will do some painting!

Update on volunteer help at Memory Junction:

Today Captain Pam Hohner, the leader of the BRIGHTON CADETS visited Memory Junction Museum to discuss how the Brighton Cadets can help on September 19-20, the Memory Junction Volunteer Weekend!

This is great news and a fitting partnership. The cadets are regularly doing worthy community volunteering while they also work towards raising funds for a trip to France to visit Canada’s Monument to Vimy Ridge.

Join the cadets and other volunteers to keep Memory Junction an active Canadian museum of Brighton Heritage. Contact Kerry at nicelot@live.ca
