Angel Museum Annual Meeting

We thank you for your past membership support of The Angel Museum. Your membership has helped to support the operation of the museum while
providing you with access to Beloit’s most amazing local attraction for the past year.

It is again time for our annual membership appeal and we hope we can count on your renewal of membership for 2010. If you are not presently a museum member, we ask your consideration. We understand there are many very critical human needs in our community and these decisions are difficult.  The economic downturn has also had a major negative impact on the financial security of the museum and  we are asking our angel community for support to keep this historical one-of-a-kind Beloit attraction alive. When you determine your membership level, please consider an added donation of what ever amount you can do. Your contribution is tax deductible and will do much to help sustain the museum during these difficult times.

The Angel Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with open membership at a variety of levels to accommodate participation. Museum membership helps to support the day-to-day operation of the museum. The purpose of the annual meeting is to bring a forum in which museum business can be discussed and a new slate of board members elected for the ensuing year. Anyone is welcome; however, you must be a paid member at any one of the membership levels in order to vote on any matters that come before the membership. Memberships can be mailed or brought into the museum before the meeting.

The Angel Museum will close December 31 and will remain closed until March 2, 2010.

For special tours or cafe rentals, leave a message on the museum answering machine and someone will get back to you.

.Thank you for your interest in the Angel Museum and please visit us often as you will see new information regularly.

We are working on our on-line gift shop catalog and soon you will be able to shop on-line.

“We aren’t that difficult to hear, if you will listen for us with an open heart. Most of the time, we are closer to you than you can imagine. A whisper, a thought, is the only signal we need from you to get a conversation started. We have enormous respect for what you are going through here on planet Earth at this time. We never seek to interfere with your lives, only to bring you blessings of insight and new ways of looking at yourselves.” — channeled by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D., author of the book Divine Guidance

Museum idea may be blessing for old church

By Kathleen Ostrander - Sentinel correspondent

Beloit - Angels brought an early Christmas present to a group of Beloit residents trying to save a historic Catholic church from demolition.

St. Paul’s Church on Riverside Drive was built in 1914 and recognized in April as one of the city’s historic landmarks.

The building is slated for demolition, but some residents have proposed using it to house a one-of-a-kind museum for an internationally recognized collection of angels and angel memorabilia owned by Joyce and Lowell Berg of Beloit.

The Beloit City Council Monday unanimously backed an initial feasibility study for the museum.

“We were just absolutely thrilled,” Barbara Pellegrini, a member of the four-person citizen feasibility study team, said Tuesday.

“We were surprised because we thought we wouldn’t hear anything for another 30 days — until the council’s next meeting. This truly was a wonderful Christmas present.”

The feasibility study was the first step in establishing the museum. A site study committee will be appointed to determine the exact cost of the museum, which has been estimated as $286,00.

The committee also will look for funding sources, including grants, Pellegrini said.

She said she already has received call from people wanting to volunteer their labor, which will cut the original cost estimates, as well as calls from people volunteering landscaping and marketing skills.

“We are really excited about this. I have to say, ever since the diocese closed the church, we’ve been hoping to find something to do with it,” said Patricia Casucci, another member of the feasibility study team. The diocese closed the church in 1988.

St. Paul’s was established by the Catholic Diocese in 1913 to serve the needs of Italian-speaking immigrants in the city, but the historic building is in the middle of a planned park by Beloit 2000. Beloit 2000, a public-private development group, bought the church and wented it torn down to make was for Heritage Park on the river.

Citizens circulated petitions and won a temporary reprieve. Theyh were asking to develop a profitable option for the building that would fit into the Beloit 2000 development plan.

The Bergs suggested the church would be the logical place to display their renowned angel collection and create the world’s first angel museum. The collection had been featured in national and international publication and contains 10,928 artifacts.

Casucci and other study team members researched other museums, the potential tourist draw of the proposed angel museum, whether or not the museum fit into the Heritage Park theme and estimated costs.

“I like history, and I like to save lovely old buildings. I feel this museum idea will really boost tourism, and it is so near the downtown it would be logical people would be going there and it would boost business there,” Casucci said.

Beloit City Manager Daniel T. Kelley said he thought the feasibility team put together a very comprehensive, professional study of the idea.

It’s because of our dedicated volunteers that we’ve been able to make the Angel Museum available to our visitors. We recently recognized our volunteers at our yearly luncheon in our lovely gardens.

We have over 50 volunteers gracious enough to share of their time and talents. Of these we wanted to recognize our Volunteer of the Year for 2008 awarding this to Darlene Niles. She has been volunteering with us for over eight years including serving on our board of trusees for three years.

Additionally, Judy and Jerri Wightman were recognized for their exceptional level of commitment.

Each year, well over 12,000 hours are given to the attraction in Beloit. From greeting visitors and planning fundraising events to cleaning, dusting and gardening, volunteers keep the museum going.
