VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA
December, 2008
SUBJECT: Village of Tequesta Historical Preservation Committee
Dear Tequesta Resident:
This past May, the Village Council appointed five residents to the newly created
Historical Preservation Committee. The Committee was created to assist the Village
Clerk's Office in maintaining irreplaceable assets, which form the cultural and social
fabric of our Village; and to recognize and encourage awareness of the Village's historic
resources and memorabilia.
This correspondence is being sent in an effort to accumulate historical artifacts from
longtime residents with twenty-five (25) or more years of residency. The Committee
plans to create "I Remember When..." and "Yesterday and Today" displays to be
housed at Village Halt. These displays will contain resident quotes, old news articles,
and pictures that depict or provide useful information concerning historical events,
lifestyles, cultural attributes, or social conditions of the earlier and current residents of
Tequesta.
Your assistance is needed to assist us in gathering items for the displays. Should you
have copies or preferably original memorabilia that can be maintained for historical
purposes by the Village please complete the attached form. Should you have items of
interest but would prefer not to donate them, we can copy and return them to you
immediately. Additionally, if you would like to provide an audio interview of your
experiences as a Tequesta resident, I would be happy to schedule a time to record your
memoirs.
The Committee looks forward to working with you as we formalize and maintain our all
important history.
Sincerely,
Lori McWilliams, CMC
