Historical Society Minutes
September 17, 2008

The meeting was called to order at 7:45 p.m. following a very
interesting photo presentation by the Whipples of their trip to Alaska
in June 2008.  There were 17 people in attendance.

Secretary's report was approved as read.

Treasurer's report approved as read. Total Historical Society accounts
are worth $16,154.31.  Both the 18 Month CD and the 6-month CD are
earning 2.72% at the present time.

The list of officers was read for the new 2-year term covering Sept.
2008 through Sept. 2010. The officers are as follows:

Larry Carey, president
Charlie Brown, vice-president
Arline Lincoln, treasurer
Martha Morse, secretary

A motion was made and passed to install this slate of officers for two years.

Larry invited anyone interested to fill the vacant position of Society
curator, noting the we have a lot of materials which need to be better
organized.

Freddie Fellows said she and Calvin had recently visited the Guilford,
Vermont historical society to see how it was organized, and found it
very interesting.  It is open on Tuesday and Saturdays. Freddie and Cal,
Bill Harris, Rod and Liz Whipple, and Michael Carey expressed interest
in taking another trip to Guilford in the spring or summer.

Ed Lemon would like to take photos of historical buildings in Warwick,
noting the photos need to be archived. Ed will scan both reflective and
transparent photos for archiving. A motion was made and passed that Ed
borrow the book on the table in the southeast corner first floor room of
the historical society building in order to do this.

The next meeting is scheduled for December 17 at 7 p.m. for our annual
holiday yankee gift swap.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Martha Morse, sec.
