An Historic Gift of Note

It’s the perfect gift for people who still write with their pen, not with their finger or folks proud of their hometown or people interested in local art. It’s the perfect gift for stocking stuffing. It’s the gift that says you love WR.

It’s the “City of Note Cards” collection on sale by the Whiting Robertsdale Historical Society.

There are two different sets with 8 different cards in each set. One is a collection of black and white historical photos such as the Whiting Library, the little stone houses and Whiting Park in winter.

The second set consists of more modern photo images by such local talented photographers as Patty Grenchik, Rick Cantania, Garrett Blahunka and Lynda Rohr. The images are absolutely gorgeous.

And the project is being printed by Abbott Printing, owner Mike Abbott a Robertsdale resident.

“The idea was to make it a project that was truly Whiting-Robertsdale from the photos to the printer,” explained Gayle Kosalko. “As we volunteer at the museum we come across some truly incredible photos and thought there had to be a way to share these with the public. We’re also doing is as a fundraiser not only to keep the public aware of our museum presence but to buy a really good copy machine and scanner that would help us with our preservation tasks.”

The cost per set is $10 (plus $3 per set for P & H when ordering from the website). You can find them at the Chamber of Commerce, Junkyard, the Calumet Bakery and the WR Historical Society Museum on Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. or on our website https://www.wrhistoricalsociety.com/shop/whiting-robertsdale-note-cards
