MWHS 50 Year Club Lillian Peek Cottage Parlor

About $17,000 needed to complete Parlor!


Beth Ramsey Visentine
Class of 1960

 

The new chandeliers and wall sconces in the Lillian Peek Cottage were beautifully accessorized with drapes just before the 2015 Reunion. Just in time for visitors to admire the room and visualize the plans for the Parlor.

Beth Ramsey Visentine created the window treatment. The drapery fabric, shown in the third picture, and fabric for the sheers was provided by John and Jo Murphy. John Murphy and David Visentine installed the rod and draperies.

There is still about $17,000.00 needed to complete the Parlor. If you can help:
Restoration donations for Lillian Peek Cottage Home Economics Building Benefit by the MWHS 50 Year Club can be sent to:

Thanks to All Who Serve and Have Served ~ We Thank You!

Mineral Wells has a long proud military history of those serving our homeland. We still have many serving today, both in the military, on the home front and overseas. Also, in positions of service, protecting us are those in the police departments, fire departments, the first responders, and those in emergency rooms and hospitals worldwide. Join me in thanking them for their service.
