Education Committee (Jane, Ernie, Marguerite, and Lou) Marguerite suggested “Settlers in the Brazos Valley” as a possible topic for a summer history program with children. She suggested
that whatever we do, it should support the summer school program with educational material. Kids Klub might be a good venue for the program. Mark Beal is making a new DVD of the Golden
Memories tape with a new beginning and ending. These will be delivered to the schools for their libraries. Agenda Item # 7: City’s 70th Birthday Anne B. plans an exhibit to feature the
