The August 14, 2006 meeting of the Haralson County Historical Society was called
to order by President Karen Higgins. The following is a list of those present at the meeting:

	Jeri Ezell
	Karen Higgins
	John Norton
	Ron Feigenblatt
	Jana Gentry
	Helen Higgins
	Terrell McBrayer
	
	The minutes from the July meeting were read and approved. Jana gave the 
Treasurer's report: We have had an income this month of $2,155.00.  Our balance is 
$7,258.12.  We have a couple of outstanding bills (water and gas) that we have some 
questions about.  We are going to check into them, but we will probably go ahead and 
pay them.

	Terrell tells us the air was fixed and it is still under warranty so we only have to 
pay for the shipping and labor. The bill was $368.00.  Motion was unanimous to pay it.  It 
has been quite hot.  We are checking into replacing the missing shingles on the roof.  
There was also a unanimous vote to hire someone to come in 4 hours a week to clean the 
courthouse.  We need to have a reliable, consistent person that we can depend upon.

	Terrell also tells us that we have done quite well with the Wade House endeavor 
so far.  They have taken in $4,800 in cash, and have pledges for $1,200 to $2,000 more.

	We discussed the Fall Festival/Sesquicentennial Birthday Bash:

	We've had lots of applications already, and we'll get lots more.  We have to have 
them back by the first of September.
  
	We talked about having a mock election.

	We're planning to raffle a $250.00 prize at $1.00 per ticket or 5 tickets for $5.00

	We discussed several suggestions for who might cut the cake at the birthday bash,
mostly agreeing that the Grand Marshall in the Parade should have the honor.  Therefore,
we also discussed who our Grand Marshall should be.

	We also discussed having our organizers wearing period clothing.

	Our sausage is being donated and we have decided to try the frozen biscuits this year.

	Ron tells us the Hungarian Colony marker has been restored [via an online photo proxy].

	After some discussion the motion was unanimous to once again join the Georgia
Historical Society at a cost of $50.00.

	We have also decided after some discussion to send Karen to a grant writing class
in Fort Valley Georgia.  The motion was made and seconded, with a unanimous vote, to
pay her fee in going, for the benefit of the Historical Society

	There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
