Minutes of the previous meeting held in Springfield, Missouri in June 1993 were read and approved.
A report was given by Roger Gephart to the effect that an IRS non-profit organization number had been applied for and the Articles of Incorporation of the Fulbright Family Association are on file. The balance on hand in the account of the Association at this time is $1,488.09. Payment was made to David Fulbright in the amounts of $150.00, $52, and $200 for expenses which he incurred, and initial expenses with regard to the Articles of Incorporation have been met. The membership report was accepted.
Ed Stout reported that he had received approximately $300.00 to $400.00 in book sales and that the funds would be turned in at the reunion in 1995.
Specific note was made to the effect that the Fulbright Family Association does not guarantee the accuracy of the historical news items submitted but that such information will be printed in the newsletter as received. It was requested that those submitting such articles check on the accuracy as much as possible.
Del Bishop reported on the $15,000 pledge toward the Archives project. To date $13,995 of that amount is pledged and at this time $9,660 has been collected. A plaque has been designed (and a sample shown) that is to be placed to designate the Fulbright Family Association rooms.
A discussion was held regarding the publication of the news letter and it was decided to send information by November 10th to Judy Fulbright to be compiled for the next issue.
New business consisted of a suggestion that the Association look into the possibility of cleaning up and restoring old cemeteries.
Meeting adjourned.
