Thanks to the donation of time and materials by Mendocino Cleaning, the outside of the Kelley House has finally been cleaned. Please show your appreciation by supporting this business with your next cleaning job – windows and power washing. Chris Lander, Mendocino Cleaning, 707-964-4552.

Welcome to the new Kelley House Museum Web site. The site, launched on July 16, 2009, has been expanded and refreshed to include the latest in Kelley House news and information. On behalf of the Board, we would like to thank Dennis Freeze, Monolith Design, for the many volunteer hours he donated to designing and creating this site. Thanks, too, to Scott Roat, who assisted with the design. We hope you enjoy the new site!

The Kelley House BBQ and Lawn Party was a big success again this year. Kevin and the Coconuts provided fabulous dance music to the festivities, funded by Pamela Hudson Real Estate. The beer was flowing, generously donated by North Coast Brewing, and the wine came from the Mendocino Wine Growers Association. Food donations were made by CVS/Longs, Harvest Market, Mendocino Market, and Safeway.

A BIG THANKS goes to all of these businesses for coming through with donations, even in these lean times. A second BIG THANKS goes to all of our volunteers, who put on a really fantastic party!
