Representatives of the Central Texas Questers met on Wed., June 14th  2006 at the Williamson County Museum in Georgetown to present $900 to the Director, Chris Dyer. This donation will be used to purchase much needed exhibit cases for the museum.


The highlight of the Quester chapters was the "Spring Fling" Luncheon and Collectible Show held on April 22 in Georgetown. A fund-raising raffle was held that day to raise monies for two worthy projects: the Williamson County Historical Museum and the Ima Hogg family cemetery at the Oakwood Cemetery in Austin.

Questers, founded in 1944 by Jessie Elizabeth Bardens, now has more than 900 chapters with 15,000 members in the United States an Canada. Chapters Enthusiastically support preservation and restoration projects. The Quester award two annual scholarships to graduate students in historical preservation and an annual graduate fellowship in art conservation.

There are presently eight chapters in Central Texas , including five in Sun City, one in Georgetown, one in Round Rock, and one in Austin, with a total of 130 members.
