Thanks went out to Gary Beckstead for securing our meeting place, a cake with a picture of his covered bridge and for his excellent program on his explorations of bridges in Canada. The meeting was attended by 34 persons.
After the reading of several months of minutes due to various circumstances and a treasurer and membership report all were reminded of the upcoming dinner meeting at Crystal House in Horseheads on November 8.
New business included the Covered Bridge Marketplace on our website, the Covered Bridge painting exhibit of works of Inverne Lockpez and a discussion of Trish Kane’s brochure. All persons were asked to let any board member know if there is anything they wanted to have brought up at the annual board meeting
