NEW BUSINESS:

The Art show during Canaan Old Home Weekend was discussed.

 

Dan Fleetham Sr. led a discussion on looking into an Art Show based around Lumen Winter and the drawings he did in Canaan during the summer of 1961.

A summer meeting was also discussed with more details at our next regular meeting.

Dan Fleetham Sr. read info on e-bay where someone is selling a CD of the Wallace History for $15.99.

 

Dan Fleetham Jr. suggested that we should look into making a CD copy of the History to sell at the Museum. He suggested that a “value added” one containing old photos as well as copies of the Canaan Bicentennial Booklet might sell well.   Chuck Townsend offered to look into this with Dan and report back at our June Meeting.
