JANUARY 25, MEETING/LUNCHEON
Our January 25th meeting was both informative and enjoyable. Twenty-one of us enjoyed food,
fellowship and the interesting program from our speaker. Norman Demarais, who spoke about the history of Nantucket
Bay, MA. We voted to donate
a book on the War of 1812 to our Brevard County Genealogical Libraries in
Titusville, Melbourne and Cocoa.
One book will be donated to each library.
In commemoration of the bicentennial, we have a display in the
Melbourne Beach Historical Society Museum and will have other displays
during the year in various locations throughout Brevard County. For the month of March we will have a
display in the Franklin T. DeGroodt Library in
Palm Bay.
We hope to see each of your at our next meeting on March 7th
as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Lt. William Shannon
Chapter. Our State President
Roberta Jordan, will be our special guest.
