STATUS OF CURRENT PROJECTS
1. Docents and Volunteer Report/Recruitment— Due to the absence of Linda Pool, Mavy Wright
circulated the docent signup sheets for the upcoming open houses.
2. Acquisition —no report.
3. Facebook— Mavy relayed that Linda was able to reach Bill Golden's daughter in Arizona to
help with our Facebook group. Unfortunately, she was unable to assist with password/log-in.
So, Linda plans to reach out to City Hall for assistance in setting up a new group. Gary Parker
remarked that some of the public comments on Facebook are inaccurate. It was
recommended a panel be formed to share memories, newsletters, and other information and
to validate the notation; a link could be provided to substantiate the accurate information.
The panel could be appointed and meet two times a year, would gather input from Weldon
Cannon, and have a discussion on our memories of Euless.

COMMITTEE REPORT / INPUT
Mavy mentioned that Juanita Smith (who recently donated the camera and tripod) and her
daughter-in-law had toured the museum. She further stated we had a good attendance of
approximately 10 visitors.
Randy Byers has been going through artifacts from his dad, Billy Byers. There are so many items
of historical significance that he's trying to sift through everything to determine what can be
donated to the museum.
