OLD BUSINESS

1. Membership Committee - Bettie Mease -Clearwater Historical Society brochures need to be updated and printed. It needs to be decided what address we should use on brochure (Martin Luther King Ave. versus Greenwood Ave.) for the Plumb House. Bettie is taking home our remaining brochures to correct the dues schedule by hand. Bettie will make signs for the fish fry showing the new membership dues schedule.
2. Program Committee - Jay Rhodes -Everything set for the fish fry. Needs as many volunteers as possible. George Hardy has accepted the responsibility of the hushpuppies since Louise is no longer able to do it. Bill Wallace will have a PA system set up for the General Meeting.

4. Museum Committee - Jim Coachman -We have received a donation of $1,233.06 from the Ft. Harrison Quester's for our roofing fund. Discussed types of window protection available to prevent damage to the house from broken windows or possibly to prevent the windows from being broken.
5. Artifacts and Documents Committee -Joan Turner -Bill has purchased a couple of recorders to have at the Plumb House to listen to the old tapes the Historical Society has.
