The April 9, 2007 meeting of the Haralson County Historical Society was 
called to order by President Karen Higgins.  The Minutes from the March 
12, 2007 meeting were approved as read.  Jana Gentry gave the 
Treasurer’s report.  Our balance after income and expenses is $8,175.90.  
The following thirteen people were present:

		Peggy Kimball
		Ron Feigenblatt
		Rosanna Birky
		Bob Birky
		Terrell McBrayer
		Jeri Ezell
		Karen Higgins
		Jana Gentry
		John Norton
		Mary Jarrell
		Charles Jarrell
		Helen Higgins
		Stephanie Jarrell

We discussed our proposed budget for the coming year.  We are still 
checking into insurance options.  We talked about the Streetscape plans 
once again.  We are still waiting to hear from FEMA.

Charles Jarrell has agreed to take over once again as our Building 
Chairman.  The slate for the roof is a little more expensive than we 
expected ($200.00 /w shipping) so we are looking into other options. We 
have given John Norton the OK to proceed with the doors. Karen ordered 
velour ropes and hooks for the jury box, to replace the existing plastic 
tape, in an effort to discourage people from entering.

Terrell McBrayer presented a copy of "The History of Floyd College", which 
he donated to our Genealogical Library.

We are sending Ron Feigenblatt to Savannah to receive the Georgia 
Historical Society’s Roger K. Warlick Local History Achievement Award in 
the category of Media Projects for his 1856 Handbook.

Even though DBR is doing the Spring Festival we are going to sell 
sausage biscuits for it.

Stephanie Jarrell has volunteered to be the bookkeeper for the 
scholarship fund for the Clovis B. Momon Scholarship Endowment Fund.

The GPAA gold miners plan to come to the Spring Festival.  We still want 
them for the Fall Festival as well. Ron told us about a song written in 
Draketown and still sung today, which will be played and sung at the 
Fall Festival.  Terrell tells us that there will be a yard sale the day 
of the Fall Festival to benefit the Wade House.   

John Norton suggested putting banners in all the towns in the county 
each time one of them has a festival.  This would involve serious 
cooperation from all the towns, and it would be great.  He is going to 
talk to Coke and Pepsi to see if they might help out with the cost of 
the banners.   

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
