Apalachicola historical society to meet Saturday

            The annual meeting of the Apalachicola Area Historical Society will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 13 at the home of Lynn and Bill Spohrer at 127 Avenue B, at the corner of 10th Street.

            Bill Spohrer, society president, will call the meeting to order promptly and announce that only those persons whose dues are up-to-date may vote in the election and participate in the picnic after the meeting.  Time will be granted for those who wish to approach the treasurer, David Adlerstein, and pay $10 annual dues.

            First item of new business will be the report of the Nomination Committee, composed of Ruth Young, Kristin Anderson and Mark Friedman, which will present its slate of recommended candidates for officers and directors.

            Other nominations may be made from the floor.  All members will then vote for officers and directors.

            The Articles of Incorporation of the state that "all officers shall be elected annually by a majority vote of the membership present and voting at the annual meeting."

            After the meeting an outdoor picnic lunch will be served, weather permitting.  Otherwise we will move the picnic inside. Arrangements already have been made for food and drink so there is no need for members to bring them.

            There is a swimming pool at the hosts' home, so anyone wishing to use it should bring a swimming suit.

            Everyone is invited to participate in this annual meeting and the picnic so long as they pay the membership dues.

            As a courtesy, please email b.spohrer@yahoo.com or call 653-4321 to share how many people plan to attend the meeting so the Spohrers can provide adequate food and drink for the picnic.
