Treasurers
Report:
Ken Lindstrom
reported total assets of $70,156.11, including income of $214.24
in April. Move to accept by Carlin, second by Bigelow, and
passed. Detailed financial report is attached.
Committee Reports
Administration:
The Property
Management Committee, consisting of Bigelow, Kelly,
O’Donnell, and N. Shotwell, brought up a new potential site;
namely, the old Baptist Church, due to be replaced. The
Baptists are enthusiastic at the prospect, as it would
preserve their old church building. The space is ample for
our needs. It was recommended that Tom Sturrr be asked if he
would survey the building for us, as to condition, and whether
the building could be appropriately adapted. The finalization
of the process would likely take two years at least; meantime,
we must think about how to get the necessary funds.
Members Services:
Myrna Carlin
reported that the Spring Dinner is all in place, and the
speakers, giving a history of the Eldon Chadwick VFW Post, are
all in line. Ed will need 10 free tickets for the VFW
speakers, and the 3 high-school students who have prepared the
graphics for the speakers. Due to an error on the web-site,
Bigelow moved that the $14 price on the tickets be changed;
second by Alfredson and passed. He again moved that the
tickets sell for $13, seconded by Alfredson, and passed.
Motion by Bigelow moved that $13 be also charged for the Fall
Dinner, second by Childers, and passed.
Museum:
Chairman Childers
reported that the Museum has been cleaned, all the glass
polished, and it is ready to be opened. The outdoor sign has
yet to be hung, and the device that holds the door open needs
attention. As to staffing, Bigelow reported that June and
July look good, but volunteers will be needed for August and
September.
Old
Business:
In answer to a
question by the President, Ed Bigelow reported that he was
handling the acquisition of the folding tables from the VFW.
New
Business:
There was no new business.
Public Comments:
There were no public
comments.

submitted
