STATUS OF CURRENT PROJECTS
1. Docents and Volunteer Report/Recruitment- Linda Pool circulated the docent signup sheets
for the upcoming open houses. She reminded the group there would be no meetings in July
or August, but the museum would remain open as usual.
2. Acquisition-no report.
3. Facebook- Linda Pool mentioned she spoke with Bill Golden's daughter in Arizona to help
with our Facebook group. Unfortunately, she was unable to assist with password/log-in. lt
was discussed that we set up a new Facebook Group within the next six months, post a notice
on current group that it was being transitioned to a new group, rename the group to
something similar to "Euless Historical Preservation", and solicit help from the Parks &
Recreation Department to help with downloading photos and important information. Those
items could be uploaded to the new group.
