prices some more and get back to

The project of flat folding old circuit court records was
discussed. Circuit Clerk Vesta Seiner
has already given her permission. Susan showed examples
of the process and asked if members
would be interested in taking on this project. Over half

items from the "wish list" completed
during 2007. 3 out of 6 physical improvements were
