Dear Ruby,              Thank you for the interesting report. Enjoyed very much meeting you and the others in the Society. Diana Johnson had a wonderful picnic. Hope the blood pressure levels off.                                                 Sincerely,                                                Richard S.

West donated an old family Bible to the society that had belonged to the Eli J. West family from Duck Creek.    Dick Wilt said he still needs stories for the webpage and Diana can also use information for the newsletter.    The trip to DC was discussed.  It will be October 5th and the cost will be $40.00 as the cost of getting the bus has gone up this year.  A deposit has to be made by the September meeting, so if you are planning on going we need to know right away so we can confirm that enough will be going.    The bus will leave from the parking lot behind the library at 5:00 a.m.  You also will have to pay for parking your car for the day as we can not take up all of the library's parking spots.   It is something like $2.00.  We also have a member that will need to be picked up in Morgantown.   A stop for breakfast will be somewhere around Frostburg, Maryland.   The bus will stop at the DAR and the National Archives.  It will be your responsibility to get back to the Archives from wherever you are dropped off or if you plan on just going sightseeing.   Everyone needs to be back at the Archives before 5:00 P.M.  for the return trip back to Clarksburg.  A stop for dinner will be made somewhere in Maryland on the way back.  The approximate time of getting back to Clarksburg is around 1:00 A.M.  We did not discuss if we were going to keep the bus to do other sightseeing.  It will be discussed more thoroughly at the September meeting.      We all went to Diana Johnson's for the annual picnic.    The September meeting will be on 11th as the first Saturday in September is the Italian Festival in Clarksburg along with Labor Day weekend.
