Linda M. Hasselstrom and Donna Evjen.
Linda M. Hasselstrom resigned as Vice President, after serving since January, 2018. Linda has been instrumental in the renovations of the HAHA Museum, helping with raising funds and promoting HAHA. Her late husband, Jerry Ellerman, supervised the structural plans, making it a safe and solid building that will last into the next century. Happily, Linda will remain on the HAHA Board and will continue her historically significant project of filing alphabetized and dated obituaries -- which include important information about occupations and family history -- of Hermosa area residents, a collection that had been compiled informally for decades. Linda also serves as the head of the Collections Committee, which handles the donations of items to HAHA. Thank you, Linda!
Donna Evjen, after serving as HAHA’s Secretary for many years, was elected as President in January, 2022. Donna stated her goal upon election: to finish the renovations on the ground floor of the HAHA Museum – delayed by COVID, labor shortages, and the death of Jerry Ellerman, the HAHA member spearheading the building committee – and to get the HAHA Museum open on a regular schedule through the summer months. Donna was relentless in pursuing her goals and by golly she “got her done.” On May 12, 2024, HAHA held our Grand (Re)Opening of the newly completed first floor, with an Open House on Mother’s Day. This event coincided with HAHA’s 25th Anniversary, as the group was founded in 1999 in order to preserve the old schoolhouse and Masonic Lodge. During the summer of 2024, for the first time, the HAHA Museum was open for a few hours one day each weekend, staffed by volunteers. Hooray! Donna resigned as HAHA’s President, as she has moved from the Hermosa area, but will keep in touch. Thank you, Donna!
HAHA has been fortunate through the years to have wonderful volunteers to continue HAHA’s mission to preserve the area’s history and cultural resources; educate our citizens, especially the youth, about our history; to promote the visual, written, and performing arts in Hermosa; and to involve the community in all of these goals.
HAHA meets 6:30 pm the second Monday of each month, to discuss our Museum collections, and plan our arts and history events as well as social media and community outreach. We welcome new members!
