For those of you that were not able to make it on Tuesday night, we had our meeting at the church. Julie did an awesome job preparing for us. Her husband, Wayne, who teaches at the local community college, did a great job as well and really added to our reading lists with several books he recommended we read! If you are interested in the titles or would like to know more about these books, please see me or Debra.
Wayne encouraged us to find out more about our own ancestor and the company in which they served... he had actually found written accounts of his own ancestor's troop in his research.
As for the business part of the meeting-- No new news was shared about the gravemarker project other than the stone has been ordered. The committee for fundraising also has not met yet, but those of us that were present decided to meet on the December 9th to discuss making a proposal to present to the Historic site. If you are member to this committee expect to hear something soon!
Please remember that dues are $25 and need to be in by January.
Also, mark your calendars... the Bentonville Historic Site is putting on a Christmas Open House this Saturday. There will be people on site showing what life was like 145 years ago. It should be interesting. Please try to attend.
If you have questions about the last meeting, please give me a call or email me. The next meeting will be in January and Janet is set to host. Hope to see you then!
