January 2006

As you may know the society is closed for the winter.  Last year
we tried to keep the building at 50 degrees throughout the
winter to see if the addition of storm windows could aid us in
conserving energy.   This year the board decided to drain all
water from the building and close it up until spring.  
Considering the rising cost of oil, it was our only choice.

The program committee will be meeting soon to develop our
calendar of events for 2006.   A copy of events will be mailed
out to our members with the annual letter and dues requests.  

This fall the Society received a check for $10,000 from the
estate of the late Phyllis Waterman.  These funds may be used
for a parking area and driveway repairs to be done this Spring.
 
Polly Whipps decorated Christmas wreaths this season and
donated all proceeds ($1,200) to the Historical Society.
