information concerning the November meeting that will be a combined event with
the local CAR chapter. As we have in past years the format will be a picnic.

balance of $2,318.06
The secretary announced that
the annual report sent to the state each year is due almost a month earlier.
Therefore dues, need to be sent in by mid-December at the latest. The chapter
has been informed that two applicants have been approved. George Schabacker and Walter Lane, Jr. will be our newest members.
With no other forthcoming,
the meeting recessed for lunch.
Bob Yarnell gave the
presentation for this meeting. Bob spent some time this past summer at a
seminar sponsored by Colonial Williamsburg. The information for his talk was
gained at this event.
The membership was given a
brief overview of five people living in the colonies at the time of the
revolution. The task of the membership was to determine whether each person
would choose to be a Tory or a Patriot. The presentation reminded the
membership that this decision was not an easy one to make. We tend now, to
think that the choice would be an easy one. As a group, the membership
correctly predicted the decision of three of the five people.
Kevin Yarnell won the 50/50.
$9.00 was thus added to the treasury.
Vice President Yarnell led
the recessional and the secretary gave the benediction. The meeting adjourned

Respectfully submitted,
Kevin Yarnell
Chapter Secretary
