	The minutes from the August 14, 2006 meeting were read and approved. 
Jana gave the Treasurer's report.  Our balance was $8,539.34.  She has also found some
one to come in to do the cleaning.  After some discussion, the motion was made and 
seconded with a unanimous vote to open a debit card account for Jana and Karen to use
as needed.  The motion was made and seconded with a unanimous vote to accept Jana's 
report. 

	Terrell gave the building report:  Replacement of part of the roof is planned.  The 
elevator is in good condition. The $15,000.00 vault grant has to go through the Regional
Library.

	We received some correspondence from the Augusta Genealogical Society.

	We discussed preliminary plans for the Pumpkin Caper to be held on Thursday 
October 26, 2006.

	We discussed the Wade House.  Wade House Heritage Trustees still have 
money coming in.  A resolution authorizing this group to proceed with the endeavor was 
presented.  Motion was made and seconded, with one vote against proceeding 
and all other votes for going ahead with the purchase of the Wade House.  

	We got our Georgia Historical Society membership.  They sent us several
interresting items, including some booklets and pamphlets. 

	We need to think about possible themes for future festivals.  Having a theme this
year brought out a tremendous crowd..

	Karen mentioned the idea of making a time capsule.  We need to check into this
to see if it is feasible for us and how we could do it. We will discuss this more next 
month.

	John Norton sent in a Grant request for $17,000.00 to West Georgia Foundation 
for blinds, a front door, and insulation for the attic and basement.

	We discussed the possibility of giving a $100.00 scholarship to a high school 
student.  We're hoping to generate some interest in the Historical Society by our young
people by getting some student volunteers to come help out either in the genealogical
library, at the Pumpkin Caper, or even the Festival of Trees coming up in the near future. 

	We discussed the Festival in its entirety.  All is set to go.   	

	There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
