Treasurer's report:  total of $15, 323.90 in the four accounts.
$1,501.23 	checking
     572.17 	savings
   3,151.12       18 month CD

The treasurer's report was accepted as read.

A motion was made and passed to accept the minutes of the September
meeting as presented.

A discussion followed on purchasing a sound alarm for the Historical
Society. Michael Carey gave the following information:  The system could
either be wired to a central box, or could be wireless with infrared
sensors.  Both use a loud claxton-type alarm.  Michael said the wireless
is simple to install and would be more effective; the wired system would
take more time.  A discussion followed on the best course to follow. Jim
Toth suggested inquiring about whether there is any way to integrate the
Town Hall system with the Historical Society. Town Hall has a heat
alarm, not a motion alarm. Michael will further investigate all the
alarm options and their cost before any decision is made by the Society.

Calvin Fellows recounted how much he has enjoyed working with Ed Lemon
and the other folks (mainly Frederica Fellows, Dave Shepardson, Beverly
Shepardson) on archiving HS items on the computer.  Their progress so
far is available at whs.steamkite.com.  Everyone thanked them for a job
well done, with much more yet to do in the warmer months.

The meeting was adjourned and we enjoyed the Yankee Gift Swap and
refreshments. The next meeting will be March 17, 2010.

Respectfully submitted,

Martha Morse, secretary.
