The Harrison County Genealogical Society held their regular monthly meeting this date and thanks to John Hines, I did get there. He came and picked me up. The December, 2009 newsletters have been mailed and they are the ones with the surname list in them. Hope everyone has received their copy. Dick Wilt, ordered new pens and they are in, so if you are at the Waldomore and don't see any pens out make sure you ask for them. You will find pedigree charts in the back of the December newsletter and we hope that you will take the time for fill them out and return them to us. Harrison County Genealogical Society, P O Box 387, Clarksburg, WV., 26301. Ethel Swiger has volunteered to index them and Roberta Cook to proof read the index. Thanks to those two women for their help. We discussed the scholarship applications and David made copies of it and Betty Waugh is to deliver them to the schools. We were only going to have enough for one $500.00 scholarship this year but we voted to give out two. We will use funds from the general fund to help defray the second one. Dick Wilt is to put an article in the local paper and hopefully more students will apply for the scholarship. We voted to make a donation of $100.00 to Darrell Waugh's church in lieu of flowers which the family requested. David Houchin, librarian, will buy the five volumes from Draper's Manuscripts. He will also buy the new obits from the Hacker's Creek Pioneer Descendants. He will subscribe to the Binn's Genealogy which will be around $40.00 per year. We did elect a new president. Theodore "Ted" Wolfe, Jr. The day of the meeting has been changed to Saturday mornings at 10:00 A.M. due to Ted's work. We will elect a new vice president but not until the new slate of officers are installed in April. We had a discussion on a Genealogy Fair but not in great length. If we would have one it would be on a Saturday sometime in early May. Any ideas from members as to what you would like to have at this fair? Hopefully we won't get the 5 to 8 inches of snow they are predicting for tonight and tomorrow. Don 'to forget your dues. $10.00 mailed to Harrison County Genealogical Society, P O Box 387, Clarksburg, WV 26301. March is just around the corner and if they are not paid by the time the March newsletter is mailed, you will not receive one and also removed from the members only list. I picked up several today and will try to get the cards out in the mail tomorrow. Ruby Casto Membership Chairman of HCGS
