To the Editor:
I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of those who contributed to the success of Fillmore High School's sixteenth annual arts show “Euphoria”. It takes a lot of people and a lot of hard work, dedication and talent to coordinate an event such as this. Thank you to Fillmore Ebell Club, Fillmore Lions Club, Fillmore Women’s Service Club, Soroptomist International of Fillmore, Fillmore Rotary Club and Fillmore High School ASB for your donations which help to make this event possible. Thank you to Lucy for being a patron of this event. To the staff and teachers at FHS who supported the student’s efforts and allowed students to take part in hanging the show…To the custodial staff , Baldo and Johnny- thanks for your help. Thank you to Max and Susan Pina, and to the students who stayed late to break down the show and clean up after the event. I am so appreciative of your help.
Special thanks to Greg Godfrey and the fantastic members of the Fillmore High School Concert Band who played at the event- the musical concert helped to make the evening a resounding success… To Mary Ellen Wortham and FHS photography department for your photos. … To Josh Overton and the drama department for their outstanding performances. Thank you to the parents and the community who attended the show and helped to make this a special night for the students. Last, but not least, to all the student artists, photographers, actors, and musicians who put in numerous hours preparing for this event, hosting and cleaning up after a long day and night- especially my Art students and former students who came back to help- thank you- without you there couldn't be a show. I am very proud of all of you.

This event drew over 150 guests who attended for some great food, drinks and friendly Casino fun. This could not have been possible if it were not for our generous Casino Night sponsors, as well as all the community members who came out to support the event.

To the Editor:
The membership and board of directors of the Fillmore Historical Museum were pleased yesterday, April 22, to receive an extremely generous donation of $20,000.00 from the ladies of the Fillmore Ebell Club. The buildings and collection of artifacts of the museum represent the shared history of Fillmore, Piru, Sespe and Bardsdale. Their donation will help assure the continued operation of the museum and assist us in our mission to collect, protect, and display these historic artifacts and buildings. We sincerely thank them for their support of the museum.
It is our hope that all members of our community will take the opportunity during this year’s centennial of Fillmore’s incorporation to visit the museum and learn about our fascinating, more than 127 year history.
Thank you
Martha Gentry
Executive Director
Fillmore Historical Museum
