H/4/1905 -1-

Avalon
April 4th 1905

Our first meeting for 1905. A beautiful
day and a good meeting. Our President
expressed his pleasure that we have
come through the coldest we have known
without a gap in our membership.

After the mintes, by-laws and Resolutions
were read there was a discussion as to
the use of Resolution 5th to let the hostess
know how many members from each family
expected to come to the meeting. A vote
was taken and the majority were in
favor of the rule. It was decided to
take the report of the meteorologist in place
of the noon temperature.
