DUNVEGAN | As it begins its 52 nd year under a newly-formed corporation, the Glengarry Pioneer Museum in Dunvegan is facing some tough financial questions. “Things are tight,” treasurer Kent MacSweyn warned in presenting the 2013 financial statements at the recent annual meeting of the organization, which has recently become an autonomous corpora- tion. He urged supporters to come up with new ways to improve the financial situation of the museum that opened in 1962, under the auspices of the Glengarry Historical Society. Like many other groups, the mu- seum is “feeling the pinch,” said MacSweyn, noting that over the years, its reserves have been dropping. In 2013, the museum recorded a $23,958 deficit on expenses of $103,547 and reve- nues of $79,589. In 2012, a $14,513 surplus was recorded on revenues of $143,512 and expenditures of $128,999. The group’s accumulated surplus has decreased from $158,987 to $135,029. The 2014 budget projects expenses of $90,400 and revenues of $53,500, meaning the organization must take $36,900 from reserves to balance its books this year.

However, perspective from guest spea- ker David Anderson lifted the spirits of the assembled volunteers. The historian spoke on Heroic Donors: Peter Stuart Grant and the rescue of the Star Inn . Grant was a busi- ness titan in Alberta, but he never forgot his Glengarry roots. The late philanthropist helped saved the Star Inn, the first building to be moved to the museum site. Anderson related that Grant has a reflex answer to requests for help:“Who do I make the cheque to?” Anderson expressed opti- mism that another “heroic donor” would emerge to help the organization deal with its contemporary financial woes. Shakespeare In The Park While the museum is meant to reflect rural life in the 19 th century, 2014 program planners have gone back to the 1500s for inspiration. Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” will be presented by Ottawa’s Company of Fools Theatre July 10 at 7 p.m. The new season begins on the long weekend, May 17 to 19, followed by a June 14 driving tour and a Doors Open free- admission weekend June 21 and 22. Quilts and fibres will be handled June 28 and 29 while Thelma MacCaskill will present World War II: Researching Veterans August 10. The ever-popular Wood Fair returns August 23 while the Harvest Fall Festival is scheduled for September 21. The annual War of 1812 reenactment will be on September 27 and 28. Historian David Anderson believes a new “heroic donor”will emerge.
