evening or the 3 months at the museum unless we receive too many reservations, then will
have to move to the Senior Center. Diane's neighbor has agreed to loan chairs to us for the
events. We have a slide screen, but Diane asked G~neva to purchase an extension cord
because we don't have one and needed one in the past.
A Walking Tour was discussed, it should be a fiundraiser and we need to make it more
special, Diane would like to have it ready by May. The Christmas Home Tour that the
Historical Society did last year will not be held this year, Betty was not able to get buildings
for another tour.
