Editor’s Notes
Mother nature caused havoc and forced us to cancel our Jan. meeting. Installation of officers and the acceptance of the by-laws were on the agenda for the Feb. meeting. Various projects and programs for the coming year were discussed. A tape on beginning genealogy was played by Ruth Keiffer, program chairman. Ruth then donated the tape to the library. Thank you, Ruth.
Due to the heavy schedule of our former editor, Connie Petersen, the news letter will now be done by Joanne Kitchen. The newsletter can be a success only with your cooperation. Please send me your items of interest.
