June 2014 Meeting Photos

We had a very interesting lecture by Leslie A. Klocek Pencak about the Button Room. She told us stories about  how the museum got started and about their collection.  Several button cards were passed around so we could see some of the ornate buttons.  The Button Room also has classes, a tea party and sells buttons for those who want to start or add to a collection.
