The August 14, 2007 meeting of the Haralson County Historical 
Society was called to order by President Karen Higgins.  The Minutes 
from the July 9, 2007 meeting were approved as read.  Jana Gentry gave 
the Treasurer’s report.  Our balance after income and expenses was 
$8,705.11.  We discussed her questions about our liability insurance 
coverage.  Also, Terrell McBrayer informed us that the tax forms have 
been filled out by the C.P.A. and filed with the  I.R.S.  The following 
twelve people were present:

		Jeri Ezell
		Terrell McBrayer
		Naomi Black
		Jana Gentry
		Frank McIntire
		Ron Whelan
		Charles Jarrell
		Stephanie Jarrell
		Karen Higgins
		Mary Jarrell
		Peggy Kimball
		Lisa Tamasi

	Terrell McBrayer gave us an updated financial report on the 
Little Creek School House, and the Sanford Wade Heritage House. He also 
told us how the restoration of the schoolhouse is coming along after the 
move.

	Our visitor, Ron Whelan, gave a short presentation on reverse 
mortgages.  The motion was made and seconded, with a unanimous vote, to 
have him return after the Festival and give an actual presentation that 
we have a chance to advertise in advance.  We think a lot of people 
would be interested in hearing what he has to say.

	The front doors are finished.  When John Norton returns Charles 
Jarrell and John will go get them.  Charles also priced fencing.  The 
motion was made and seconded, with a unanimous vote, to go with the 
Architectural Decorative fencing.  It looks better with the historic 
structure of the building.  The bid was $2,475.  Charles is going to get 
a second bid, then send the bids to the Commissioners to see if they 
will help with the cost. Charles also told us it is possible to buy 
programmable thermostats.  We are not going to change anything at this 
time.  We discussed, again, cooperating with the Master Gardeners on the 
slope.

	Stephanie Jarrell updated us on the Scholarship Fund:  She is 
going to the bank to find out about the charges on the account. 

	We discussed the Fair on the Square.  The theme is "Welcome to ’57".

	Key Ingredients:  Karen Higgins and I told about our trip to 
Macon to learn about the Smithsonian Exhibit coming to town.  It was 
great!

	History Book:  Lisa Tamasi got the software she needed.

	There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
