"General Board" will refer to the officers and to the regional representatives in session. "Executive Committee" will refer to meetings of the officers with those regional representatives who may attend.
The Board appointed David Fulbright and Del Bishop to talk with a tax lawyer about the annual report which we must now file as a not for profit corporation in Missouri. The board a1so authorized payment of that bill for services rendered.
The Board authorized Interim Treasurer, James McClure, to make a contribution toward D3vid Fulbright's reunion related long distance telephone bill.
The Board discussed the ten dollar charge for family association membership. It will cover a two year period which will run from reunion to reunion.
The Board adopted two priorities. It set the Museum project as the number one priority of the association. It set as our second priority doing genealogical and historical research to get our family history before 1740. This may call for the services of a German genealogist/historian. As soon as the museum project is completed and settled, a plan of action will be formed and any funds needed to accomplish it will be secured.
