The Society operates the East Coulee School Museum and will use the funds to revitalize the museum. The project will include replacing the boiler, foundation repairs, a fire alarm system and site grading. John Shoff, President, presented the funds to Barb Steeves, Manager of the East Coulee School Museum.
