Joyce mentioned that we should post flyers throughout the community for upcoming events. KariAnn made up some for the concert that were excellent.
It was decided that some tower fans would be a good addition to the store building not only for meetings but when members want to do some research. Al will pick two up at Walmart or some other store. Motion to purchase fans made by Jackie and seconded by Laura. All in favor, motion passed.
Veteran’s Park: The annual Memorial Day ceremony was held 7 pm May 31. About 31 attended, the American Legion performed the flag ceremony. The weather was sketchy but didn’t hurt us too bad.

Brian gave a talk about the survey map of the Hamm property. Debbie Hamm said there was a home there that is no longer there. Larry Hamm showed Brian where an old mill was.
The probation department has offered a person that could do community service work for us. Probation would supervise – no one was opposed to having them. Scraping and painting of the schoolhouse would be one possibility. Motion was made by Jackie to do this with a second by Laura.
Jackie is going to look into buying clips we can fasten wire to for hanging our pictures at the store building without having to put holes in the wall. Those old plaster walls can’t have holes in them.
Motion to adjourn was made by Charley and seconded by Joyce.
The above is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. Albert Hodder, secretary.
