TNT general members’ meeting on June 4

Published

on

Those attending the 2024 general membership meeting of Tales ‘N’ Tales Museum will see the unveiling of two large leather art pieces that have been under restoration this year.
The meeting will be at 5 p.m. on June 4 in the Joe Benton Room at TNT. Art restoration expert Victoria Lupia will be the guest speaker and discuss all the steps involved in restoring these unique artworks by local artist Dell Motley.
It has been an extensive process from taking it out of the massive frames to dismantling the sections and cleaning them up. The restored pieces will be placed into lighter frames with archival backing. “The Ten Commandments” and “The Good Shepherd” will be hung in the Benton Room joining Motley’s other large pieces “The Last Supper” and “Jesus and the Fisherman.”
Members in attendance also will be the first to view the temporary exhibit of Terry Guilliams’ collection of artifacts recovered along the Texas side of the Red River Valley and from the historic Gault site in Bell County.

Daylight Saving Time ends on Nov. 3, so before you go to bed Saturday night move your clocks back one hour.
There have been efforts to get the time change thrown out, but it continues to be in governmental limbo.
What is the future of daylight saving time? On March 15, 2022, the U.S. Senate passed a bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. But it will not become law until the House of Representatives votes and the president signs off.
The Sunshine Protection Act, stalled in 2023. A group of senators reintroduced the bill again this year and it has been referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation to review and it is stuck in committee.
