IF THE ROOSTER DIES . . . . . . . BUY AN ALARM CLOCK!

Many of you have by now probably received a copy of the CD – “Bluffs of Valmeyer” by Valmeyer resident and musical artist, John E. Harper. John has decided to embark on this endeavor as a way to help raise funds for the development of the museum by the Valmeyer Community Heritage Society. The production and distribution of the CD is John’s gift to the community. If you have not received a copy of the CD, and you are interested in receiving one, please contact Tammy Crossin, President of the Valmeyer Community Heritage Society or John Harper at JohnEHarper@eaton.com.
