Learning about the displayMonthly, Ann and Bill, along with the display contributor, explain the collection to participants in the Lifeworks program. This year, the Sylvanders were also invited to an elementary school group where they brought some of the items they collect. They also encouraged young people to become collectors themselves.Wheres yours?From the beginning, Ann and Bill have been clear that their goal is for community members to share their own collections in the display case. Thats your summer assignmentif you have a collection, contact us at 651-480-7670 so the Sylvanders can make arrangements for your collection to be in the Tilden display case during an upcoming month!
