FEBRUARY, 2001 MINUTES
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Larry Everett. There
were 16 members present.
OLD BUSINESS:
The Rankins volunteered to host the May meeting since the meeting date is also Election
day and we cannot meet at the library.
Frank Wollenhaupt reported on the candlestick project. He has received the list of
candlesticks from several members, and he is still waiting to hear from others. He will
make the decision as to which candlesticks will be included in the slide presentation, and
will come to each member's home to photograph the candlesticks.
If anyone is interested in running for the National Cambridge Collectors Board, please let
Larry Everett know this week.
The cost to sponsor a showcase in the new museum will be $1000. It was moved by Frank
Wollenhaupt and seconded by Will Acord that the Miami Valley Study Club sponsor a
showcase. The motion carried unanimously.
With the death of Jim Barbian, there is now a vacancy on the Program Committee. Interested
members should contact Ron Hufford or Larry Everett.
NEW BUSINESS:
Larry and Susan Everett have been selected to chair the Glass Dash at the annual
Convention. Any member that would be interested in helping, please let Larry know. Also
regarding the convention, another group will be meeting in Cambridge the same week-end as
the Cambridge Collectors. So it is imperative that room reservations be made as soon as
possible.
The next meeting will be March 13, 2001. The program will be "Confessions of a 1940
Bride" by Larry Everett. This will be a program stems of the 40's. Everyone should be
examples of stems of this period, including non Cambridge stems. The program will be very
interactive and participatory. Larry is particularly interested in Rosepoint carmen,
Prinstine, gold encrusted Rosepoint, or gold edge Rosepoint.
Meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m.
