Historical Society Meeting Minutes 12-4-2019
Attendance: Roger Maxfield, Elizabeth Whitham, Deanna Tranfaglia, Lucy Gordon, Stanley Prescott, Michelle York, Wes Jones, Liz LeBrun
The meeting was called to order at 6:35pm. There was a motion to accept the secretary’s report by Roger with a second by Lucy. Motion carried.
Liz read the poem from the Loudon Ledger that was published as the Historical Society’s December submission.
Lucy reported that we have spent $1501 to date. No change from last month.
Stanley reported that he was trying to get Steve Fifield to evaluate the granite building next door so we can plan for its preservation. The granite section dates back to the 1850’s.
The craft fair and tree lighting event was reviewed. All aspects went well. Next year we need more coordination between the tree lighting and the appearance of Santa. Some vendors were cold so we will look into making some changes next year to solve that situation. We have less than 20 calendars left to be sold and will try to sell them at town meeting.
The write-up for the town report was reviewed and some small changes were suggested. Lucy will revise and email for approval.
Members signed up to man the building for the next few months on Wednesdays from 1-3 pm.
The purchase of Past Perfect was discussed but we are waiting to hear about some funds that may be available from the town.
A Historical Society Banner is needed for events like Old Home Day and the craft fair. Dee Dee will get some information.
The next meeting is scheduled for January 8 at 6:30 pm due to the holiday on January 1.
Motion made by Lucy to adjourn meeting at 7:26 pm. Seconded by Dee Dee. Meeting adjourned.
Liz LeBrun
Secretary
