SHENANDOAH, Feb. 14 — During its regular meeting on Tuesday, the Shenandoah Council heard that the Town’s museum and visitor’s center is losing its supervisor and curator next month.
After 18 years of employment with the Town of Shenandoah, Joyce Fluharty is retiring. She previously served as the supervisor of the Shenandoah Computer Center, administrative assistant to the Shenandoah Police Department and currently serves as the supervisor and curator of the Town of Shenandoah Museum and Welcome Center, as well as Shenandoah’s Art and Music Event Coordinator.
Fluharty’s last day with the Town will be Thursday, March 9.
The Town’s museum saw a total of 40 visitors during the month of January, collected $146.65 in revenue from printing services, sold two books for $33.50 and two ornaments for $20, and received $32 in donations.
In other business at its Feb. 14 meeting, the Shenandoah Council took the following actions:
• Held a Town Code Workshop prior to the regular council meeting. The next Town Code Workshop will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at Town Hall.
• Received a letter from the Shenandoah Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization’s President Shana Pennington and Treasurer April Amend to ask the Town to donate toward renovating Shenandoah Elementary School’s courtyard. A decision will be made at the next Council meeting.
