when all

spring's opening.
Old Business:
There was no old business to discuss.
New Business:
Ken Lindstrom provided the Board
with
a detailed run-down of all of the
duties expected of the Society's Treasurer. We are continuing to
seek someone to take over the job, although Ken has kindly
offered to
retain some of the duties, and we
encourage any candidates.
Ed suggested that after the trip of some of the
members to the site of the old lookout tower, on the adjacent
dune to Old Baldy, we make some effort to pursue the tower's
history; perhaps contacting the Lagesen
family
who constructed it.
Karen Way apprises that she has received
3
boxes of various notes, and the
like, that were compiled by Eva Levich who aimed to update
Florence Schrumpf s Pentwater History. This should be
sorted-through so an assessment can be made as to what is there
and what our
disposition of it should be. Ed
suggested that Karen contact Nancy Grant for help on this.
