Whitewater Historical Society
December 2021
The night before Christmas Ross Museum was ablaze
with lights set to banish the wintery haze.
They hung from the railings, they hung from the rafters
Crafted by Beattle, Whitewater’s fine master,
On a pergola built to brighten the season,
For picknicking, playing, whatever the reason.
Come down to the creek and sit by the water,
Throw a ball, have some fun and listen to laughter.
The flowers will bloom with Joanne’s tender care,
All of them raised with her magical flair.
The museum’s for you, enjoy all the garden
And collections within where Lawrie is Guardian.
Delight in our past and Whitewater’s Culture
We know that with you Ross Museum has a future.
To all of our members, to those far and near,
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good year.
