Resource manual - nothing new
Funeral cards - nothing new
Cemeteries - nothing new
Probate records - Cheryl sent a letter to Mr. Richard Heimerl, chairman of the county board. She is waiting for his response yet.
Publication printing - Old requests have now been sent. We're current again!
Junior membership: We defined this membership as anyone high school aged or younger. The cost is $5.00
