Dear SCHF Subscriber:
With the MANY days of heavy rain, many leaks have formed in our historic properties. These leaks are happening in four of our five buildings.
If you would like to make a donation to help defray the expenses of the repairs, please make your check out to the "SCHF" and put in the memo "leaks".
We appreciate any assistance you can give!!
Sincerely,
Annette Kirklin

Cochran Art Exhibit
Opening Reception: Monday, March 4 (4pm-6pm)
Exhibit continues until March 28 during normal business hours
FREE ADMISSION
The SCHF is proud to welcome the original art of Thomas "Tom" Cochran. The Cochran Art Exhibit opens in the Academy Building of the Southern Cultural Heritage Center on Monday, March 4th with an opening reception from 4:00pm-6:00pm. The exhibit will continue to be on display until March 28 during regular business hours. Admission is free.
Thomas L. (Tom) Cochran (1938-2006) was a multi-faceted artist. Experts considered him a master of watercolor; he was also a sculptor
, woodcarver, and designer. A native of Walters, OK, Tom moved to Jackson, MS, in 1959 following a tour of duty with the U.S. Navy. Other than a very brief period of time during which he lived in Brookhaven, MS, he resided in Jackson until his death in 2006.
In 1991 two of his impressionistic paintings won "Awards of Merit" from Watercolor Encounter at Louisiana Tech. His creations are in private and corporate collections throughout the country. President Gerald Ford, President Ronald Reagan, and President George H.W. Bush each owned commissioned Cochran carvings, as well as limited edition prints. Lee Iacocca's collection includes Tom's work. The Mississippi Museum of Art selected his work for its prestigious "Collector's Choice Live Auction."
A strong sense of family and love of country are recurrent themes in his works as he created familiar scenes depicting rural and small town Americana. His poignant paintings of weather-worn buildings and faded, forgotten, once-prized possessions evoke a feeling of nostalgia. More information can be found at www.cochranartlimited.com.

PLEASE HELP 
SCH Auditorium Repair & Stabilization is COMPLETE
$13,957 STILL NEEDED!
This project was made possible by a grant from the Mississippi Department of Archives & History of $150,000 with required matching funds of $38,000.
We have raised $24,043 toward the $38,000 needed for the matching funds. Because we did not raise the remaining funds, we were forced to use our general fund.
We are STILL accepting contributions toward this project. REMEMBER: contributions of $50/or more will be listed on a plaque that will be permanently located in the foyer of the Historic Auditorium.
Checks need to made out to the SCHF (write MDAH grant in the memo of your check) and send to 1302 Adams Street, Vicksburg, MS 39180. Your donation is tax deductible.
