http://www.roundhouseatalyeska.org/Roundhouse/Blog/Blog.html Welcome to The Roundhouse at Alyeska Museum Blog! I am pleased to give you this opportunity to share your stories and photos. Please email them to me at the “Contact Us” link below or snail mail at the Girdwood, Inc. address.<br/><br/>I am amazed at how fast the first year has past since the opening of this amazing mountain top museum. There have been thousands of visitors since the doors were opened in April, 2008. I certainly hope you were one of them. If not, this website gives you a sense of history, from the early days beginning with Captain Cook to the present, that is being presented for all to enjoy. I hope you will be able to come visit soon.<br/><br/>There are many opportunities for you to participate with the museum. Ongoing projects such as the &quot;Sock Hop&quot; fundraiser, on Saturday, May 16th.; reviewing photos and newspaper clippings dating back to the mid 1950's; assisting Mr. Girdwood's grandson with an historical DVD; updating photos or volunteering as a greeter and so much more!<br/><br/>I look forward to seeing you at The Roundhouse at Alyeska Museum, or enjoying news and stories on our &quot;blog&quot;! iWeb 3.0.1 http://www.roundhouseatalyeska.org/Roundhouse/Blog/Entries/2009/9/27_Book_signing.html c294c151-451d-45fe-895d-92a1a34b6271 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 12:31:41 -0800 Girdwood, Inc. invites you to a book signing and benefit for The Roundhouse at Alyeska Museum.
