He also reported that we had sold all of our books we had by Henry P. Scalf and that he needed to get some more ordered. He stated that not shown on the general fund balance is approximately $500.00 that had been collected from dues notices that Don and Patricia Johnson had once again volunteered to send out for the Board this year. He also noted that Fred May had posted our dues notice letter on his web page to help us raise needed funds to continue work to preserve the May House. With no comments, the Treasurer's Report will stand approved as presented. Discussion then turned to the number of Trustees that the Board wanted to have for the coming year.
