Measurable Outcome(s)

OUr targets were achieved. We were able to produce a documentary that has been well received by our region and requested by many that grew up in Detroit Lakes but no longer call it home. The relationship BCHS has with not only the Lake Detroiter's Association but our community as a whole has strengthened. We are seen more and more as a valuable resource. Having a local county museum is seen more of a necessity and less as a luxury as traffic to our facility has increased.
