Meetings: 7:30 p.m., 1st Thursday of each month at the Lucy Hill Patterson Memorial Library
At our December meeting, we agreed to change the time of our meeting to 7 p.m. The library staff requested that we finish before the 9 p.m. closing time. Charles Hubert appointed a nominating committee of Florecne McDaniel, Bob Martin & Lucille Towery to present a slate for election at the January meeting. The new officers will be installed at the February meeting. Charles also appointed a steering committee of Rusty Thomas, Jon Cook, Peggy Wright & Gloria Martin to formulate 1996 goals and objectives for the society.
