President’s Message:
During the last several meetings some of the new members have been asking me about my research in Peru and Chile since they are unaware of what I was doing there. It has been a few years since I last presented to the chapter on this topic and many new members have joined during that time. Therefore at this meeting I will discuss my research. For those of you who have been a member for several years I will be including new discoveries made during the last three years. I will also be showing a display of artifacts from ancient Peru and Chile. So there is something new for everyone.
At this point in time we have the following programs scheduled for the next few meetings:
November – Annual dinner - Robert Ferenac
December – Flintlocks of the French and Indian War through the Revolution
January – Historic archaeology

The trusteeship currently held by Richard Havlicek is up for election this year. The nominating committee endorses his nomination. We will accept additional nominations at the next meeting.
