Pember, Jerry Reynolds and Carol Rock.

and Bette Tilch.
PURPOSE OF MEETING: To discuss policy, goals and procedures. Presi-
dent Betty Evans said we need to plan how to keep the historic village
going and how to raise money. A railroad has been mentioned, but
liability insurance would be too high.
As we get more buildings we will need more insurance. We will
have to decide Ir we are going o move houses as we raise money or
use up our funds.
Betty stated that each year we need to review our plans. We
also need to share information with the general membership. They
should be told what we are trying to do, how money can be raised,
how many houses we can handle, etc.
Betty suggested that they be polled on their feelings. A ques-
tionair could be given out to get their opinions and mailed back to
us.
KINGSBERRY HOUSE: George DeMott will coordinate the moving of the
house.
There will be a tour of the house on Saturday, June 13. The
mover, Jack Simpson, will jack up the house on Saturday to be moved
at a later date. Two rooms were added to the house in the 30's or
40's, a kitchen and back porch. It may not be possible to move the
additions with the house. George will try to tie the additions to
the house and the mover will move the house with the additions, if
possible. If not, he will leave the additions.
The house was built in 1911. We will have to decide what date
we want to restore it to. If 1911, we would not want the additions.
Betty Pember said many older people in the community have been in
that house and can tell us how the house looked originally. She
suggested that we ask them.
We need to be sure we have liability insurance for the move.
Cynthia Neal-Harris will take care of this;·
T~ere is a shed or garage on the Kingsberry property. It isn't
known ~fit was built at the same time as the house in 1911. If the
house is restored to the 1911 date we may not want the garage. If
moved, however, it could be used to house the carriage.
