The Records Group has done a fantastic job and has finished the major sorting of records (primarily financial). We will meet
February 21 and March 7 (not February 21) to go over historical records. Anyone interested in looking through old books (some in German) and other manuscripts to see what historical articles were stored, please come and join us. We would like to eventually display these items, but would like a group to help sort and record them.
