Treasurers Report:  Treasurer Bob Bailey reported there was no activity. 

Old Business:    
Heritage Fest:  Marie Byatt Reported that the festival was rained out and cancelled due to severe storms in our area. She said they were able to work with one person on his familyÕs history before shutdown.  They sold one ÒGetting StartedÓ book.  She said there were several interested people who could not receive attention before they were told to close down.
