1) At the January 2024 meeting we will be selecting a new board member as well as a
Cemetery
committee chairperson. Everyone is asked to think whom you might like to see
in these positions. Gloria
reviewed the by-laws with regard to responsibilities for
each office.
2) Membership committee:
Shirley reported 2 new members. The membership listing will
be updated.
3) Anniversary
Book committee: Tim reported the committee has met 32 times this year.
After many months of work the book is at the
printers & we are awaiting a 2nd proof.
Once that is done it will go to print. A sample of the front cover
was displayed
for all to see. The amount of books (50,75,100) was discussed & we will get that
information
from the printer with regard to the cost to us. The price we will charge
will be decided once we know our cost.
We have the option of ordering more books
as we need them. This book is the societies offering in honor of the
towns 200th
anniversary & will be something we can all be proud of.
4) Fund Raising committee:
Anita contacted Doug's Fish Fry & was told our check
would be coming. We talked about doing this again on
June 14, 2024 at the same
location. Sales of quilt raffle tickets is $1045.00. Anita is planning on making
another
quilt to raffle next year. There are currently 25 tables sold for the
November 4th Craft Fair. Anita
had a sign up sheet for volunteers to assist at the
Craft Fair & several people signed up. We will keep most
of the prices of our
baked goods the same, with only a few being changed. Our Can-Do fundraiser was
discussed.
Tim questioned if we should pull our bin from there as we have had
difficulty getting paid from them. Gloria suggested
that members drop their cans/
bottles off at the museum bin & we take them from there. Tim will keep an eye
on
the Can-Do bin.
5) Building committee: Tim is going to get an additional estimate
on the bathroom renovation,
as well as the installation of the hot water heater.
6) Tim has
been in contact with Lawana Morse, our county legislative rep.,
with regard to grants & other available money.
Anyone who is able to help
with grants is encouraged to contact us.
7) Mary Mower from Pine
Valley asked if we would visit her home as she has
set up a display area specific to Pine Valley. We will contact
her to visit.
