Saturday, June 14
8:00 AM – 9:30 AM breakfast
Consensus of the board is that a hot breakfast would be best. Blaine and his committee of Ted and Dana will plan and purchase materials for a two or three item breakfast for about 75 – 100 people. All will help with the cooking. Blaine will be excused from cooking and cleaning up so he can mingle with the crowd and promote more participation in the descendency chart.
Assignments:
- Enid will send Blaine a check for $120 to purchase needed supplies and materials.
- Ann and Blaine will provide their Camp Chef.
10:00 AM – business meeting, website overview and elections.
Charlene and Enid have about 12 categories to award prizes.
Charlene will conduct elections. Dennis Davis who lives in California expressed interest in being on the board. He could step into the Lynne Herring vacancy and would be a good addition.
Assignments:
- Charlene and Enid will get the prizes for the awards
- Ross will give a website overview if possible
- Ross will arrange for sound system, projector and screen
- Blaine will give descendency report
- Ted and Dana will give ancestry report
If possible a 15-minute board meeting could be held to confirm assignments on the board.
11:00 AM – Caravan to the railroad museum
Stott will be in charge of getting groups together and into the museum.
Descendancy Report
Blaine reported that he has almost completed adding in the names from the green book. There are now about 6,500 names. Good job, Blaine!
Ancestor Research Report
Ted and Dana have been to the Family History Library again – separately. They are trying to work out a system for collaboration.
