It was decided that the bulk of the expense came from sending the brochure to each member of the Iowa County Historical Society in their newsletter. While we believe this was a good idea, next time we will work more closely with their newsletter director to coordinate a better scope of who should or should not receive the information.
We were joined by 12 guests tonight to watch the video of the life on Winne Sawle who grew up and lived in Arena.
Our first public display of the cemetery books done to date was held. Many people enjoyed reading through them
and wished that there were other cemeteries that were already completed.
