APRIL MEETING by Julie Narcovich: The meeting started at 7:44 pm with 16 members present. The annual report was the meeting's first topic. If you would like to find out about the budget or obtain a print out, come to the next meeting to obtain a copy.; Also discussed at the meeting were donations. Because of a discrepancy with the place that we donated the Station Fire Fund money to, we will now have to have all (donated) monies over $100 be approved by ALL members of the committee including the Board of Directors.

ELECTIONS by Julie Narcovich: All (members in attendance) voted for the following people and their positions:

President: Rob Fahey; Vice President: Peter McKenna; Treasurer: Arthur Pawlowski; Secretary: Julie Narcovich; Librarian: Pam Pawlowski; Board of Directors: Rob Fahey, Peter McKenna, Arthur Pawlowski, Julie Narcovich, Pam Pawlowski, Tom Ross, Mark Thatcher

Congratulations and good luck to all on the committee and a special "Thank You" to Arthur Pawlowski for three great years as our president. He has and will continue to be a great asset to our club. Thanks Art!

SHOW & TELL by Julie Narcovich

The theme was "Springtime". We started off with a wonderful bunny collection presented by Stanley Sorrentino. We watched him pull many rabbits out of a box! Art had many bottles for sale and also three acl sodas, Springtime Anytime, Red Bird Beverages, and Berry Spring Mineral. Tom Ross brought in three great RI bottles; Bare Rock Spring Soda Co., Ochee Spring Water, and Berry Spring Mineral. Bill Ladd and Rob Fahey went on a super dig. Bill had this great Ginger Beer stone bottle that was partially glazed with JAH embossed on the front. He also brought in a deep teal colored bottle embossed JSP on the front. It stands for Joseph S. Pederson (Johann Malt Liquer). Rob showed many bottles from his dig including a twelve sided Atwoods Jaundice Bitters. Wes Seemann had the most fascinations collections of old male and female syringes. They came in a variety of colors such as green, blue, and clear. They are seen in a book (and listed) as "bobin rods to make lace". We all now know that this is incorrect and the book will be corrected in it's next publishing. Wes also had an 1850's cigar holder. (Porcelain. Right, Wes?) Also an 1850's panel knob (blue) to an old piece of furniture

Thank you Mark, Bill, Art, and Rob for all the bottles you guys gave me. I love them all including the dirt! Anymore? Anytime!!
