We had a great turn-out for our February meeting where Mr. Joel Rose was our guest speaker. We are very fortunate to have such a knowledgeable friend/historian to our local chapter.
To catch everyone up that was not present, we talked about the upcoming anniversary program to be held on March 19th and 20th. A sign-up sheet was passed around for people to man the table we will have set up to raise money and interest in our graveyard project. We will be selling the Christmas ornaments and aprons that were left over from last year as well as 8x10 copies of several pictures of historic places in Bentonville and chances on a large 16x 20 framed photograph.
If you are interested in helping either on Sunday or Saturday-- contact Debra.
Also Stephanie may have a way to get us the reproduction badges made for the dedication ceremony on into the Spring at a reasonable price!... stay tuned for more details.
Several UDC chapters from our state have donated money to our cause. We are very appreciative of their support and official Thank-you notes will be mailed in the near future. We have letters that you can send to organizations you deal with on a regular basis to see if they would like to lend us some support as well. If you want a copy of this letter--let me know and I'll get a copy mailed or emailed to you. Soon, I hope to have more information about our project so those out in cyberspace can understand a little better about what we're doing.
I hope everyone is enjoying this little preview of Spring and avoiding getting blown around in this terribly gusty wind! Please send your thoughts and prayers out to Mrs. Carol. Her husband was in the hosiptal some last week, but I believe he is at home now.
