•• Roll call, celebrate new and departed members PLEASE notify Ed Cantey of these events.
•• We need someone to step up to take, keep and read the minutes. (Gladys Tice's 1992-1999 minutes are online.)
•• Determine a chair for 2012.
•• Please assist Lew Grimes's effort to maintain a current address (e-mail address, too) of living members of the Grimes clan. E-mail addresses are not published online. Please review the current list at http://www.grimestree.net/directory.htm and notify Lew of changes. Bring changes to the reunion or otherwise notify Lew at info@grimestree.net
•• Board members, Spring Green Preservation Fund (Fund) will report on the Fund’s highlights, provide the treasurer’s report, and make an appeal for donations. (Donations to the Fund are tax deductable: so you may prefer a check.) The direct predecessor organization of the Fund was a spin-off of our own Reunion. The predecessor organization was led by our late Ernie Capps.
We desperately need your help. The Fund needs to raise about $3,000 to replace the southern exposure half of the roof; beginning last spring (2010) shingles from the south side have been found on the ground. Ideally we would replace the whole roof, but that's an unlikely option.
All are welcome to attend the annual meeting of the Spring Green Preservation Fund, Inc. on Saturday September 24 at 10:00 AM at the Martin Memorial Library in Williamston, NC.
