SUMMARY OF 1974 MINUTES
January 15, 1974 Minutes The trustees met at Glebe House at 4 p.m. In the absence of the Secretary, Mrs. Robert Hoe, Mrs. Lawrence McGinnis acted as Secretary. The Resolution drawn up jointly by members of the Junior League and the Dutchess County Historical Society was read by President Roig. It was unanimously approved. The Resolution has to do with the operation of Glebe House, the fact that it is funded jointly by the Junior League and the Dutchess County Historical Society, and that its operation shall be run by the Glebe House Committee. A preliminary report has been received from Temple University outlining the work done at the Fishkill Archeological Dig during 1972. The Annual Meeting has been tentatively scheduled for late April. The Pilgrimage to Stanford will take place in early June with Mr. Franklin Butts as chairman working with the Stanfordville Society. Mr. John Jenner expects the auction for Glebe House to take place in early February, whenever Mr. Calvin Smith, the auctioneer, is available. Mrs. Wilhemina Powers reported that she has been investigating several different publishing houses over the past 2 years for reasonable estimates for reprinting the Society's books, which are now out of print. Before proceeding further, it was suggested that the dates of our copyrights be checked. February 19, 1974 Minutes The Trustees met at Glebe House at 4 p.m. President Roig asked about the progress with regard to the various copyrights of books. Mr. John Jenner said he must contact the Library of Congress and check with the Surrogate of the Court to find out the heirs of said copyrights. He will confer with Mrs. Powers, Curator, and Gordon Hamersley to proceed. It was moved to pay our dues to the Hudson River Valley Association. President Roig stated that the Glebe House Committee will send a copy of their minutes each month which will be attached to our monthly minutes. The Resolution drawn up between the Junior League and the Dutchess County Historical Society is also made a part of our minutes, together with a letter from Edward V. Cunningham, lawyer, accepting such Resolution. Mr. Ralph VanKleeck said that teachers are available to teach spinning to a small group of interested people. Such people will be canvassed through the Junior League and the D.C. Historical Society. President Roig read a letter of resignation from Wynne Mund. The resignation was accepted with regret and the Secretary will write and thank her for her past service. There was some discussion about the proposed cultural center. Mrs. Lawrence McGinnis feels that our documents and artifacts should be displayed where they are most accessible. Mr. Roig said that we have committed ourselves to use the cultural center, which is presently the Old Men's Home, for our displays. 5
