	There was considerable discussion about the Purchase of the Wade House.  Some 
still expressed misgivings about the endeavor.  Allen Poole was present to express his 
support of the venture but did question the cost.  He did, however, say that he would 
support the Historical Society in whatever they decided to do.  The committee of 15 
members will assume all responsibility for the purchase, operation, and maintenance of 
the Wade House.  We seem to have community support, with several donations already.  
The understanding is that the trustees will draft a charter making clear all of their duties 
and responsibilities.  The following statement was drafted to present to Mr. Pope:

	The Historical Society agrees to act as an umbrella organization to the purchase of 
the Wade House provided the Wade House Heritage Trustees (the committee of 15) 
assume full responsibility for the purchase, operation, maintenance and financing of the 
Wade House.  

	After all this discussion the motion was made to vote on whether to go forward 
with this endeavor.  The vote was 8 for, and 2 were still against.  We are proceeding.

	Our treasurer, Ann Bannister, has had to resign.  Jana Gentry has generously 
volunteered to assume her duties.  The motion was made and seconded, with a unanimous   
vote, to accept her offer. The motion was also made and seconded, again with a 
unanimous vote, to thank Ann for all her hard work with a gift of flowers to be sent to 
her.
	We discussed the updated prices of our books:

		History Book--	$30.00
		Cemetery Book--	  30.00
		_______________________
		Both Books--	$60.00
	The motion was also made and accepted, with a unanimous vote, to give a History 
book to anyone making a donation of $100.00 or more.

	We discussed the Fall Festival to be held Saturday September 26, 2006.This will 
be our Sesquicentennial Birthday Bash (150 years.)  Plans are progressing for the 
festivities.
	We had a wedding over the weekend here at the courthouse.  There was a problem 
with the courthouse not being locked up properly afterwards.  From now on we need to 
make up a check list for before and after use of courthouse for anyone using the premises.  
We will also have to require a security deposit and designate a society member to come 
up and make sure everything has been taken care of properly.
	The front doors of the building are sticking again.  We need to check into 
replacing them.
	We need to thank Mary Jarrell and also Johnny Sue for all of their hard work.
	Ron Feigenblatt is going to purchase a re-charger for the batteries used in the 
camera and video camera.
	Joe Conley did visit and presented some historic documents to the Historical 
Society.
	There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
