A Thank You Dinner

in my first year here as Executive Director of the Mitchell Site, I have been overwhelmed with the support, time, money, and effort given by so many in our community and beyond to make us successful. Whether it’s volunteering to work the grounds or the admission desk, giving dollars to support our free school tour program, or helping us craft our burgeoning position as one of the foremost archaeological and educational centers in the Great Plains, I wanted to express my thanks for the help given to achieve our many goals. I made gumbo and cornbread, and our Board President Steve Kinsella made bison and elk chili—both of which were served on top of rice. It has been an honor to serve the Mitchell Site and the community of Mitchell thus far, and I look forward to this being a yearly tradition for our ever growing list of supporters.
