On 27 May 2021, CCGS held a Board Meeting that was attended by Russ Hudson, Ann Horvath, Jane Brown-Wise, Judy Wagner, Carol Wheatley, Andrea Kehoe, Wanda Hall, and Eileen Mummaugh.  We met once again in the outdoor setting of Landon C Burns Park, near Potters Field and the Almshouse in Westminster.  We had a productive meeting until the thunderstorms rolled in and ran us off to the safety of our cars.

   

  The Board discussed the possibility of scheduling a General Business Meeting and discussed holding an outdoor activity to reengage our members now that life seems to be returning to some level of normalcy.  While we were successful in planning a speaker in coordinating with the outdoor activity to be scheduled in later June our planning proved to be for naught. 

 

  While Covid restrictions are being eased it appears that we still cannot schedule a meeting venue in which to hold our General Business Meeting.  Facilities that may be available to us are still not allowing larger meetings or use of their facilities until late Summer or early Fall.  Our attempt to reengage was made in earnest yet it appears that the impact of Covid restrictions will linger a bit longer.  We look forward to scheduling our next meeting in September. 

 

 

  The Westminster Branch Library that houses the CCGS Collection is still operating in a restricted manner due to Covid and construction of the Commons Area on the basement level.  Parking remains impacted in the library area due to construction activities.  We have been informed that at some point in the future the library will be closed while construction activity takes place on the roof.  With this information in mind, CCGS staff will be returning to the library on Thursdays and will be available to answer questions and provide some assistance to researchers.  We ask that you keep your visits short for the present time.
