It's National Volunteer Appreciation Week! Here at the Luxembourg American Cultural Society, we have many amazing volunteers and would not be where we are today without all of their support!

Today we thank Rachel for all that she does! Rachel recently began volunteering with the Luxembourg American Cultural Society in February of this year! She has also been working hard with the Vern Arendt Collection to ensure its continued preservation. She reviews physical photographs, and ensures materials are properly sorted, labeled, and stored. Her work supports improved access to and long-term preservation of the collection for research, exhibitions, and educational use.

Check out this decorative plate with text in the Luxembourgish Language for this week's edition of What is it Wednesday W/Red Lion!

This Ceramic Plate has hand painted flowers around the edge and a poem in Luxembourgish that translates to "We are holding tight to our land, With all our strength and thanks, I am a "Luxembourger" child, that word still has a good sound." Plate has a crackle finish, and looks commercially made.

Stay tuned for next week as we explore more items from our collection every Wednesday!

Today, we thank Michele for everything that she does!
Michele has conducted research for individuals seeking information about their Luxembourg ancestors at the LACS since 2010. Her years of service reflect incredible dedication and commitment. She is available at the center one day a week, but often continues her research from home. Some of her key contributions include:
• Performing multiple research requests for the LACS on a volunteer basis
• Reviewing and proofreading family histories assembled by researchers
• Offering advice on research and training researchers and other volunteers
Michele consistently goes above and beyond her regular volunteer duties, often spending entire days assisting researchers at the center. Her efforts have made the LACS an invaluable community resource for researchers and visitors.

Stay tuned this week, as we will be featuring and thanking those who continually volunteer their time to help around the museum and center!
