Improvement is also needed at our Camp meetings; we need to be more
official.

There are now 14 members with 15 needed to procure our Charter at the
June Encampment.
A Sons Reserve Corps uniform, hat, medals and badges was donated to the Camp by
Mr. Weaver.
A new leather flag carrier was purchased for carrying the Camp Flag.
A motion to pay Joe Long for the purchase was made by Bob Shaffer and
seconded by Bob Bergen.
The cost was $33.34.
Nominations were made to fill the vacant positions on the Board of the
Memorial Association.
A motion was made by Joe Long to nominate Bob Shaffer and was seconded
by Howard Saltz.
All were in favor.
A second motion was made by Joe Long nominating Russ Jones was
seconded by Bob Shaffer.
All were in favor.
Ed Faatz made a motion that the Camp take out an ad in the National Booklet.
Joe Long reported that this had already been done.
Ed then challenged the attending members by donating $5.00 of his own
to up the ante and place a full page ad in the booklet.
Donations were made and Joe Long volunteered to contact the
appropriate person.
Bob Shaffer, Pennsylvania Department Patriotic Instructor, commented that this
years contributions were low, but did thank the Camp for their support.
Joe Long offered the Camp's thanks to the Union and Confederate participants in
the Memorial Day Ceremonies to Conrad Kwolek and Chuck Mercer.
The Camp's next Open House will be conducted on June 28th in conjunction with
the Department's Encampment.
Bill Burns suggested that we have an Open House on Saturday due to the
increase in local and tourist travel in the area.
It was then suggested that the next Open House after June be held on
Saturday. All
members were in favor of this suggestion.
Bob Shaffer suggested that an a-frame type sign be acquired to be placed outside
the Museum to display information concerning Open Houses and other events.
In regards to public relations, Ed Faatz suggested that, along with written
correspondence, calls be made to newspapers and TV stations to keep them abreast
of activities.
This would also suggest to them that we would really like them to present and
to publicize our events.
Our next meeting will be held on July 9th, 1992.
With no further business, questions or comments, a motion to adjourn was made by
Joe Long and seconded by Ed Faatz.
Respectfully Submitted,
Robert C. Shaffer
Asst. Secretary
