The March 13, 2006 meeting of the Haralson County Historical Society was 
called to order by President Karen Higgins.  There were 10 present, including new 
member Ray Hindman.  The minutes from the February 13,2006 meeting were approved 
as read.  Ann gave the Treasurer’s report.  Our balance is $ 9952.66 with some bills 
pending, including $ 224.00 for the heating system repair.  The motion was made and 
accepted with a unanimous vote to accept the Treasurer’s report.	
	We received the paperwork for the Wade house, and are waiting to hear back 
about it.
	DBR is going to host the Festival on May 20.  
	The family has agreed to accept the $500.00 for the mail carriage, and we plan to 
check with Milton Wood about repairing it.  We want to see it added to the Street Scape, 
possibly with a brick foundation with a plexiglass cover.
	Building:
	The leak in the roof was dealt with.  There are some missing shingles, but overall 
the roof seems to be in pretty good condition.  The stairwell painting and repair is almost 
finished.  Cleanup is underway.  The heating and air is working.  The Friends of the 
Library are planning to have the same people install the heating and air in the vault as the 
first phase of their development. The elevator contractor says he checked and almost all 
the water is gone and the downspout has been replaced.
	Work has begun on the Genealogical Library vault.  There has been some cleanup 
and removal of some items. We need to get a written agreement with the county about 
what records we will keep here.
	There’s still a lot of talk going on about the Little Creek schoolhouse.  Some want 
to relocate it and others want to leave it where it is.
	By-Laws:
	Terrell suggested that we change the by-laws to show co-president and 2nd and 
possibly 3rd vice-presidents. We also need to add Heritage Hall of Fame. The motion was 
made and seconded, with a unanimous vote, to accept these changes.  Ron will print it out 
and Terrell will edit it.
	Karen asked Peggy to select a nominating committee for the coming elections.
	We discussed membership dues.  We have decided to leave them as they are for 
now, with the option of offering one year membership free to new members as an 
incentive to join.  We also need to notify members when their dues are due, which is in 
May.  John Norton suggested an annual fundraiser instead of annual dues.
	Ray Hindman wants to put historical articles in the local papers, possibly about 
what happened 100 years ago today, or something similar.
	We are planning a work day for the vault on Saturday March 18, 2006.
	Heflin is having opening day for their Depot Museum on the same day, beginning 
at 10:00.
	Karen has talked to the Sons of the American Revolution, and will find out if they 
can come the day of the festival of if they would rather come to a meeting.
	We received in the mail a notice about a book called “Central of Georgia Railway 
Steam Locomotives and Trains.  The motion was made and seconded, with a unanimous 
vote, to order the book for our library.
	DBR met 10 out of 10 of the state criteria necessary to their organization.
	There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
